Cosmetic Use of Pesticides within the boundaries of the Town of Deep River
On April 22, 2009, Ontario's ban on cosmetic pesticides came into
effect. The ban is part of the McGuinty government's toxics
reduction strategy to reduce pollution and protect families from
toxic chemicals.
There are 11 classes* of pesticides in Ontario Regulation 63/09 and
these, the regulation and the act are available on the Ministry of
the Environment's web site at
www.Ontario.ca/pesticideban. Pesticide products with controlled
sales or banned sales are listed in Classes 7 and 8, respectively.
Pesticide ingredients banned for use are listed in C class 9.
* Note: All classes
are subject to change as newly registered pesticides are classified
for sale and use in Ontario, or as products are reclassified or
declassified.
On May 6, 2009, Council passed
By-law 19-2009 repealing all previous
municipal pesticide by-laws.
