British Columbia Cosmetic Pesticide Use Consultation
The Province of British
Columbia is currently
conducting a consultation exercise to determine if it should adopt
legislation prohibiting the use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes on
both private and public lands. Although there is no indication that golf
will be included in the prohibition, it is important for you to indicate
your support for the submission that golf’s use of Health
Canada approved pesticide products is not cosmetic.
The consultation process is
open until February 15, 2010 and we need your help to ensure that golf
will not be prevented from using these products. Please contact your MLA
and the government consultation coordinator to let them know all of the
reasons why golf benefits the environment, the economy and the
charitable components of your province.
