Rising diabetes rates lead Kingston to look at banning some adverts on council-owned sites.

Kingston, Ontario, is set to implement a ban on junk food and sugary drinks in municipally owned facilities starting in 2024, aiming to promote healthier eating habits among residents. The initiative, approved by the city council, will affect vending machines, cafeterias, and concession stands in places like arenas, pools, and community centers, replacing unhealthy options with nutritious alternatives such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This move is part of a broader effort to combat rising rates of obesity and chronic diseases, and follows similar actions taken by other Canadian municipalities. The policy also includes provisions for public education and support for local businesses to transition to healthier offerings.
