Information on the Province of Ontario's Cosmetic Pesticides Ban:
In June of 2008, the Ontario legislature passed the Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Act. This act lays out the framework for a ban on the sale and use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes. It will apply to herbicides, fungicides and insecticides used for cosmetic purposes but will make exemptions for uses related to health and safety. The act will apply to all of Ontario and replace any municipal by laws currently in place. More details regarding product bans and possible exemptions is expected near the end of 2008. For more information and a list of proposed products to be banned visit the Ministry of the Environment's website.
