  • Private Property Pesticide By-Laws in Canada
    Private Property Pesticide By-laws In Canada Population Statistics by Municipality The lack of adequate protection from unwanted exposure to lawn pesticides at the federal and provincial level has fueled a growing surge in municipal pesticide restrictions designed to enhance the protection of the environment and public health. The number of municipal by-laws currently in place across Canada has now increased to 117. An additional 10 pesticide by-laws are at the draft stage pending adoption. Municipalities of all sizes have passed various forms of pesticide by-laws. The largest is the City of Toronto with a population of 2.48 million while some are as small as Lac- Saint-Joseph, Québec with a population of 184. There are over 11 million Canadians, or 36.5% of Canada's total population (based on 2001 Census) benefiting from enhanced protection from unwanted exposure to synthetic lawn and garden pesticides. This figure includes the additional province-wide protection provided under Québec’s Pesticide Management Code. The following report was prepared by Mike Christie (Ottawa, Ontario) based on the most current information available from Statistics Canada’s website.

  • A History of the Town of Baie-D'urfé
    July 1977, A HISTORY OF THE TOWN by Thomas Roche Lee, Mayor of Baie-D'Urfé OF BAIE D'URFE from 1957 to 1961 © Town of Baie-d'Urfé FOREWORD Uniquely fortunate is the community which has in its midst one with a lively interest in its origins, in its history, and in its present. Doubly fortunate is the community whose historian and chronicler is both imaginative as to opportunity, and has had the experience of being its mayor. Those of the past, with the research that permitted them to be remembered, those of the present who also helped make this greatly blessed piece of geography, Baie d'Urfé, and those who follow, all owe much to Tommy Lee. Tommy re-identified the Town with its Urfé origins.

He served eminently as our mayor. He raised his arm heavenward with me one Saturday morning, tracing in the sky the potential magnificence of a Centennial flagpole one hundred feet high. Of this great stuff is Tommy Lee. I am honoured by this association with Tommy Lee's story of this great place where I have been privileged to live. A.
