Area McDonald‘s go smokeless and customers love the change Her decision was based on cusâ€" tomers‘ remarks and requests, said Bryans, adding that the size of the restaurants made it impossible to separate the smoking and nonâ€"smokâ€" ing sections. For McDonald‘s franchise owner Darlene Bryans, the directive from head office to go smokeâ€"free as of Monday (March 7th), presented no problem. Bryans was one step ahead of the company moving her Lakeshore Road West outlet into the smokeâ€"free zone on Feb. 1st and her North Service Road West outlet, March 1st. "Actually, we‘ve had nothing but good comments," said Bryans. "We‘ve had some negatives but those are coming mostly from the teenacers." Parents with young children were most pleased with the decision and "we‘re a family restaurant," said Bryans. There are no more ashtrays to clean up and "the environment is a lot nicer to walk into," she said. Hours for the show are 10:00 a.m.â€"5:00 p.m. There will be displays and demonstrations by local spinning, weaving and quilting guilds as well as a quilt and coverlet contest. St. Paul‘s United Church at 454 Rebecca St. is the place to be tomorrow (March 12th) for The Crafter‘s Choice, a juried craft show and sale.

As an independent, Bryans was under no obligation to follow the company‘s order, but chose to do so even before the company decided that its more than 500 restaurants Canadaâ€"wide would be smokeâ€"free as of this week. Santosh Kailey, manager of the McDonald‘s on Iroquois Shore Boulevard, said the feedback has been very positive. "It‘s been no problem. We feel very good about it," said Kailey. The ramifications of McDonald‘s move are widespread and may even make the difference between a driveâ€" through visit to the restaurant for an asthmaâ€"sufferer, and a sitâ€"down meal, according to a spokesperson for the Halton Lung Association. "We‘re delighted. It‘s a really good move," said Lung Association executive director, Liz Porter. "It sends a message to the population and families at large, that they‘re interested in (your) health." IMPROVING YOUR ODDS AGAINST CANADA‘S #1 KILLER.
