Help ban ornamental pesticides

Help ensure our children, family, pets and the environment are protected. Stop the use of harmful chemicals on green spaces where we work and play and learn more about safe alternatives.

Evidence linking pesticides and cancer is suggestive and growing. The use of ornamental pesticides has no countervailing health benefit and the potential for harm exists. That is why the Canadian Cancer Society is calling on the provincial government to phase out the cosmetic use of pesticides on lawns and gardens, and to educate the public about safer alternatives. Check out our informational powerpoint.
