This success reflects farmers’ growing commitment to the safe and responsible management of these products. We are therefore very optimistic about participation in this year’s collection.”“The program is funded by crop protection industry members and the Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI) and provides a much needed solution for members of the agricultural industry looking to safely dispose of unwanted and outdated pesticides and animal medications taking up space on their farms,” says Dr. Catherine Filejski, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI).Collection events will take place in:Coaticook – Vivaco Groupe Coopératif, September 30Laterrière – Synagri, September 28 – October 1Le Bic – La Coop Purdel – Bic Unoria Coopérative, September 21Lorrainville – Synagri, September 14, 16, 18, 21, 23 & 25 (entre 9 h et 12h)Louiseville – Novago Coopérative – Centre Agricole, September 23Mirabel – Les Meuneries Mondou, September 3oNapierville – Uniag Coopérative, September 22Nicolet – Agrocentre Technova Inc., October 1Saint Augustin-De-Desmaures – Synagri, September 24Sainte-Brigitte-Des-Saults – Synagri, September 29Saint-Casimir – Novago Coopérative – BMR, October 5Saint-Césaire – Herbic Inc., October 2St-Éphrem-Station – Avantis, September 23Sainte-Hénédine – Avantis Coopérative, October 6Saint-Hyacinthe – Agiska Coopérative, October 6Saint-Hyacinthe – Synagri, October 1Saint-Louis-De-Gonzague – Les Meuneries Gérard Meheu Inc., October 7Saint-Philippe-De-Néri – Avantis Coopérative, September 22Saint-Pie – Agrocentre Technova Inc., September 24Uniag Saint-Polycarpe – Coopérative, September 28Saint Rémi – Agrocentre Fertibec Inc.
