Q4: In 2003 Caledon was on the leading edge by passing the Healthy Horticultural   Landscapes By-Law. As more and more municipalities have passed Pesticide          By-Laws, Caledon’s appears to be lagging behind the newer by-laws.  Will you       support strengthening Caledon’s by-Law when it is voted on by Council in the  next term?

Mayoral Candidates:

Norm Calder

"Yes …. however …. some conditions must exist to assist the agricultural  industry."

Garry Moore

"Yes."

Marolyn Morrison

"We are awaiting the three years of data to show us if our By-Law is working or not and if it needs strengthening. I truly believe that proper records need to be kept by the applicators.  I also will work hard lobbying to make sure that only qualified applicators can buy concentrated pesticides.  Once we have the three years worth of data then a decision should be made, with all of the information gathered, whether to strengthen our By-Law or not."
