Costly implications for a pesticide ban on municipal land
KAMLOOPS — There could be costly implications for the City of Kamloops if council votes in favor of a ban of cosmetic pesticides on all municipal land this week.
A report from the city’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services department says it would cost approximately $30,000.00 for additional staff time and alternative methods for weed control.
In addition, the report says $25,000.00 would be needed for educational purposes for the public including interpretive signage and workshops.
