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?

"I believe that the strength of any pesticide bylaw is measured by the reduction in the use of pesticides. Reduction in my mind has always been the result of an effective education/communication program not just by the Town of Caledon, but also at the Regional Department of Health, the Provincial government and yes also the pesticide industry. Not having seen the strengthening changes to which you refer, I would have to consider carefully any change in the bylaw before making a decision one way or the other."

Tony Viola

"I will support strengthening Caledon's pesticide bylaws in the next term. I am a firm believer that the bylaw needs to be addressed and completed once and for all.  Unfortunately, keeping Caledon green doesn't appear to be a priority to our previous Ward 3 and 4 representation."

Richard Whitehead

"I will want Caledon’s by-law and protocols strengthen as more of the population becomes more environmentally sensitive and proactive."
