The Pesticide By-law repeals its predecessor, By-law 2007-036, which regulated the use of pesticides within the Town of Oakville. The by-law was repealed based on Section 7.1(1)(5) of the Pesticides Act which states that a municipal by-law is inoperative if it addresses the use, sale, offer for sale or transfer of a pesticide that may be used for a cosmetic purpose.
