Pesticide seminar:
The town of Hudson's Environment Committee is pleased to present a special seminar titled "From the Ground Up: Pesticides and the power of local communities", by Dr. Pralle, a professor of political science at Syracuse University.
Dr. Pralle studies environmental advocacy in Canada and the United States, with a particular interest in pesticides use, including Hudson's groundbreaking by-law. The seminar will take place on Sunday 28 September at 7:30 PM, at the Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre 394 Main Rd, Hudson. Admission is free. Contact Chris Buddle for more information at 514-449-7559.
Hazardous waste drop-off:
The Vaudreuil-Soulanges MRC has set up several locations in Saint-Lazare and Hudson where you can drop off old paint cans, oils, paint thinners, insecticides, pesticides, batteries, tires, computers, printers and microwave ovens. These things should never be put out with the regular trash as they can harm sanitation workers and leach toxic chemicals into the groundwater.
The MRC says that more than 90% of collected items will be reused and recycled. Please bring ID that proves you are a Vaudreuil-Soulanges resident. Only hazardous waste from domestic use will be accepted.
September 27, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.:
Hudson: 525, rue Main (Municipal garage)
Saint-Lazare: 1301, rue du Bois (Community centre)
