Pesticide-Free CRD is a coalition of organizations and individuals in the Capital Regional District (CRD) that is concerned with the use of pesticides in our community.

 

Our mission is to protect the health and environment by eliminating the use of all unnecessary pesticide products.

 

The coalition:

· advocates for bylaws that restrict the non-essential use of pesticides.

· promotes education programs that provide information to the public on alternative methods for managing pests.

· supports all initiatives that reduce our community's exposure to pesticides.
