Nanaimo council bans cosmetic pesticide use
Filed in: | April 23, 2009
Nanaimo city councillors have decided to implement a bylaw that will ban the use of cosmetic pesticides.

Pesticide suppliers will be forced to supply natural-based products, which some say may affect sales. Read the full article in the Nanaimo Daily News.
