Letters to the Editor

Dear Vitality,

We need your help right away! We’ve just learned that the chemical industry is trying to postpone the Ontario pesticide ban by at least a year! Could you please e-mail the Ontario government saying you want the pesticide regulations implemented this Spring?

Please send an email to: spupatello.mpp@liberal.ola.org; mbryant.mpp.co@liber-al.ola.org; mbest.mpp@liberal.ola.org; jwatson.mpp@liberal.ola.org; htakhar.mpp@liberal.ola.org. Enitle it: Don't Delay the Pesticide Ban! to the Ontario government and then cut and paste the following into your message:

Dear Cabinet Minister,

The pesticide regulations will boost business and green jobs. Please ensure they come into effect this Spring. Do nothing to weaken them. Thank you very much.

 [Your name and address]

Even if you don't live in Ontario, please send a message to the Ontario government. This ban will help us win pesticide bans right across Canada.

Thanks again for all your help!
