No response required/not applicable

This policy is not applicable, as per the provincial wide ban on pesticide use. The Parks Section of Leisure Services do not utilize pesticides at City Parks locations or for any other municipal purposes.

Policy Text:

To ensure that the existing and future application of pesticide ceases to be or does not become a significant drinking water threat, the City of Greater Sudbury shall undertake a pesticide management plan for municipal properties. This plan will evaluate the use (volume and application) of pesticides, reductions, and alternatives to their use where possible in the vulnerable areas where the activity could be a significant threat. This policy will come into effect within one year of the source protection plan taking effect.

Monitoring policy M9 applies.

Monitoring Text:

M9: By February 1 of each year, the City of Greater Sudbury shall report to the Source Protection Authority on the status of development and implementation of the pesticide management plan.
