Pesticide Bylaw
The following resolution was adopted by City Council on December 10th,
2007:

non-essential pesticides partnered with a comprehensive “Be Pesticide
Free” education campaign, with an exemption for certified applicators
to continue to use pesticides; and
(b) A plan that the Kelowna Parks Division
will pursue PlantHealth BC accreditation in 2008 and City staff will
encourage private industry to also pursue accreditation; and
(c) Once PlantHealth BC is deemed successful
by City staff, an amendment will be recommended to Council in 2008
to require mandatory PlantHealth BC accreditation for all pesticide
applicators as part of the Pesticide Bylaw.
