Clarington Expands Rodenticide-Free Program to Recreation Facilities

The Municipality of Clarington has decided to expand the Rodenticide-Free Program to all municipally operated recreation facilities. This decision was made during the General Government Committee meeting held on January 6, 2020. The program aims to enhance environmental health and safety by reducing the use of rodenticides, which can have harmful effects on non-target species and the ecosystem. The expansion reflects the council's commitment to sustainable practices. However, the implementation of this program will incur increased costs associated with alternative pest management strategies and public education efforts. The exact financial implications of this expansion were not detailed in the meeting minutes.
