(All underlined words in our emails can be clicked upon in order to immediately launch the relevant web pages.)

 

Kindly consider the Province of Ontario’s supreme leadership; kindly see their relevant web page.

 

“The ban would likely take effect next spring. It wouldn’t affect pesticides used for farming or forestry. Golf courses would still be able to use pesticides, but must meet certain conditions to minimize environmental impacts. Pesticides would still be used for health and safety, such as controlling mosquitoes, which can carry diseases like West Nile Virus.”
