Pesticide Bans in Canada: Is the U.S. Next? Tony DiGiovanni

Pesticide Bans in Canada: Is the U.S. Next?
Tony DiGiovanni

The province of Ontario, Canada is one of the first jurisdictions in the world to ban pesticides for “cosmetic use.” (Cosmetic use refers to ornamental horticulture practiced professionally or by the homeowner.) The lawn care sector was the hardest hit and has gone from many years of prolonged growth to double digit losses. Tony DiGiovanni, executive director of Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association, will tell the story of the ban from the perspective of 20 years on the “front lines” dealing with a strongly polarized emotional issue. He will also convey lessons learned and discuss what the industry is doing to try to adapt to this new reality.
