Canadians have many things to be proud of when it comes to protecting our health and our environment from the negative effects of pesticides. Towns, cities and entire provinces are taking the initiative to enact cosmetic pesticide bans. In fact, Edmonton and Calgary are now the two largest cities in Canada that have not enacted any such ban.
On June 15, 2010, the four Environment Ministers of the Atlantic Provinces met together to discuss the idea of a collaborative pesticide ban – the first multi-province initiative of its kind in Canada. Two of these provinces already have legislation banning pesticides, and Nova Scotia will be enacting a ban by the spring of 2011. Read more here.
Alberta needs to get with the program! If you want our government to begin protecting our heath and our environment get involved today. Sign our online petition or send us an email to learn how to become more involved.
