Ontario Government Building SCENT FREE Workplace: In response to increasing numbers of allergies to scents, particularly perfumes and colognes, the Ontario Government Building has become a scent safe workplace. Your co-operation is requested by not wearing perfume, cologne, or other strong scents and refraining from use of air fresheners. This is a serious issue for some of our clients and colleagues and we want to keep everyone safe.
