The city of Sarnia, in partnership with Lambton Public Health, is offering its residents an evening of smoke-free fun and events.
On September 16th starting at 4:30 PM, festivities will kick off at Centennial Park. The goal of the event is to highlight the importance of smoke-free public spaces along with educating families on how movies and entertainment can influence healthy or unhealthy behaviors in children.
Health Promoter for Lambton Public Health Lisa Clark says, “Thirty-seven percent of Ontario youth who smoke say they began smoking because of what they saw in movies.”
Smoke-Free Movie Night will feature inflatable bouncers, interactive activities, food vendors, and air brush tattoos. Later in the evening, there will be a short story followed by a screening of the Disney movie Lightyear. Attendees will receive free popcorn and are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets.
