TD Council Asked To Ban Smoking In Lewis & Clark Festival Park

The Dalles City Council has been asked by the North Central Public Health District to approve an ordinance banning smoking and vaping at Lewis & Clark Festival Park.  The district’s Neita Cecil gave a presentation to the Council this week, saying that would make the downtown park consistent with similar locations in The Dalles.  Cecil added such a policy sends a good message to youth, and helps ex-smokers in their efforts to remain off of tobacco.  She said the health district was willing to pay for the signage.  Councilors asked municipal staff to develop a proposal for consideration.
