NAIT’s Executive Committee approved the policy on April 15, 2015.
The new policy was drafted following a review of the former Smoke Free Campus Policy, led by the executive director of Human Resources and the Department of Health and Safety Services.
From September 2014 to February 2015, Health and Safety Services consulted with NAITSA, NASA, AUPE and departments across the polytechnic, as well as other post-secondary institutes and organizations prior to making its recommendation to expand the policy.
The Administrative Policy Committee provided oversight, coordination and review of the new policy and recommended it to Executive Committee for approval.
