Ontario Bill 64

The Ontario Government introduced new legislation on April 22, 2008, amending the Ontario Pesticide Act to limit the sale and use of pesticides for cosmetic use in Ontario.  Bill 64, in its current form, exempts golf from the provisions outlined but there are certain conditions related to this exemption.  The CGSA and other golf industry affiliates has been working with the Ontario governement to see the golf exemption continued.
