Provincial and Territorial Pesticide Certification Programs:
Each province has its own certification program for pesticide applicators and vendors.
These programs are regulated by the provincial pesticide regulatory agencies but may
be delivered via educational institutions. The territories do not have their own certifica-
tion programs, but recognize certification from other provinces. Please contact the ap-
propriate provincial or territorial pesticide regulatory agency for further information.
•
Example (Ontario): Ontario farmers must be certified through the Grower Pesticide Safe-
ty Course to buy and use Class 2 or 3 Pesticides on their farms. A certificate is valid for
five years.
