Georgian College

26 GENERAL INFORMATION 2016 MARINE CERTIFICATION AND REGULATORY TRAINING marinetraining@georgiancollege.ca SMOKING POLICY The Smoke-Free Ontario Act applies to all campuses of Georgian College. The college is responsible under this legislation to ensure compliance with the smoking regulations under the act. The intent of the act is to provide a near-complete ban on smoking in any enclosed space. At Georgian College, smoking is restricted to specific areas away from building entrances. For further information on this procedure, please refer to the Smoking policy on the policies and procedures page of the Georgian College website. Students who violate this policy will be subject to sanctions available through the college as well as applicable provincial legislation. Avenues pursued may include the Student Code of Conduct, the levying of a monetary fine, and escalating sanctions up to and including expulsion. Violations will be tracked by Campus Safety and Security and notations made to student files as appropriate. At the Owen Sound Campus, the smoking area is located in the gazebo at the back of the building. LOCKDOWN PROCEDURE Although highly unlikely, the possibility of a violent incident occurring at a Canadian postsecondary institution has become a reality in today's society. Accordingly, the college has developed and implemented a lockdown procedure to provide general direction to the college community during an incident in which a lockdown might occur. This lockdown procedure is a resource tool that provides general principles and guidance to members of the Georgian community and is designed to increase the level of preparedness in an attempt to limit the impact of an occurrence. It is expected that students and staff will read the lockdown procedure so they will know how to respond appropriately should an incident occur. For further information on this procedure, please refer to the lockdown procedure on the policies and procedures page of the Georgian College website.
