Kenora appears ready to pass a bylaw banning pesticides and herbicides. A subcommittee of Kenora city council plans to meet with representatives from the Northwestern Ontario Health Unit to gather information and facts on the health hazards of herbicides and pesticides, a city councillor says.

The subcommittee will also talk to municipalities that have already banned pesticides and herbicides. A public meeting will be held on the matter.
