A smoking ban is a controversial subject. Those who do not smoke, and have never smoked, often feel like there is no reason not to employ a public smoking ban. Smokers, however, feel like it is a personal right to be able to smoke in public, and the smoking ban issue is important and personal for them.

While this might seem like a new issue, the disagreement surrounding a motion to ban smoking in public places has been around for a while. There are pros and cons on the smoking ban issue. Come hear both sides of this issue at this Eggs N' Issues.

With emphasis placed on high quality business/education partnerships across the region, this year’s B.E.S.T. Workshop on September 21 will share ways for partners to work towards developing partnership plans that provide high impact for both the school and business.

1) Measurable Results
2) Implementation of High Impact Initiatives
3) Equal Benefits to School and Business
4) Identifiable Community Impact

One goal this year is to expand the number of partnerships focusing on these criteria as partnerships activities are set and implemented throughout the year.
