Effective immediately, all YCDSB schools and Board offices will be designated as Fragrance/Scent Safe.
Exposure to fragrances and scented products can trigger severe health reactions in individuals with asthma, allergies, migraines, or chemical sensitivities. Fragrances and scents are found in a wide range of products, including but not limited to perfume/cologne, body spray, aftershave, deodorant, soap, shampoo and conditioners, lotions/creams, essential oils, fabric softeners and laundry detergents.
To protect individuals with sensitivities to fragrances and scents and to prevent others from developing such sensitivities, we are asking for your cooperation towards a fragrance/scent-safe environment.
Staff, students and visitors are strongly encouraged to avoid or reduce the use of fragrances/scented products and to replace them with unscented alternatives.
We thank you for your continued partnership and cooperation.
