Re: City Pesticide Use Audit (17428)

A letter from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) to the City of Edmonton Audit Committee endorsing the update of the city's Integrated Pest Management policy and requesting the inclusion of health evidence and health-related groups in the review process.

• The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) endorses the Office of the City Auditor's recommendation for the City of Edmonton to update its Integrated Pest Management policy to enhance clarity regarding pesticide justification, use, and the application of pesticides on non-City property.
• CAPE requests that the City of Edmonton consult health-related groups and incorporate health evidence into decisions concerning pesticide use during the policy review.
• CAPE asserts that the federal pesticide approval process managed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency contains "serious gaps and flaws," which necessitates a precautionary approach to pesticide use to protect public health.
