Policy Text:

It is recommended that the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change work with the Ontario Pesticides Education Program Committee to review the Ontario Pesticides Education Program and consider the incorporation of Source Protection information into the education. The pesticide education materials should teach pesticide applicators how to find out if their lands are in a Wellhead Protection Area or an Intake Protection Zone.
