Integrated Pest Management Program

The Ministry of Environment administers the British Columbia Integrated Pest Management Act and Regulations, which:

  • regulates the sale, use and handling of pesticides in the province; and
  • promotes an Integrated Pest Management approach to managing pests.

The Ministry has issued Draft Guidelines for First Nations Consultation for immediate use by:

  • licence holders for specified pesticide uses
  • proponents who require or hold a confirmation to a pesticide use notice
  • applicants for pesticide use permits

A process for review of the draft guidelines by First Nations and industry stakeholders is proposed.


Subscribing to Notices of Updates

To facilitate the circulation of further information, an e-mail service ('listserve'), called "IPM e-Link" has been established and will be maintained by the ministry. This listserve will be used to notify subscribers when new information is posted on the ministry website. If you wish to receive such notices, you should subscribe to this electronic mailing list.

To subscribe to the "IPM e-Link" listserve send an e-mail message addressed to:

majordomo@majordomo.env.gov.bc.ca

Leave the subject line blank, do not use a signature block and, in the body of the message, type:

subscribe ipmelink-l

Note: The mailing list name ends with "l" (a lower case L), not -"1" (the numeral one). The lower case "L" stands for "listserver".

You can unsubscribe at any time by sending a message to the same address and, in the body of the message, type:

unsubscribe ipmelink-l

Make sure you leave the subject line blank and do not use a signature block.
