The South Shore Pesticide Reduction Action Group (SSPRAG) is a registered
not-for-profit society, formed in February 2000 to raise awareness of the
dangers of pesticides used for cosmetic purposes. 

We believe that everyone has the right to live, work and travel in
communities free from harmful chemical pesticides. To that end, we
encourage individuals, organizations, businesses, governments and others in
the counties of Lunenburg and Queens to eliminate pesticides from their
properties and communities, and adopt more healthful practices of lawn,
garden and property care. 

SSPRAG's mandate is supported by the Nova Scotia College of Family
Physicians, the Medical Society of Nova Scotia, the Chief Medical Officers
for the Western and Central Regional Health Boards, and the Canadian
Association of Physicians for the Environment. 

We welcome members from across Nova Scotia. Membership is $10 per year per
family. This fee goes directly to covering our administrative and materials
costs, photocopying, postage and other expenses; all our work is done by
volunteers.  

For more information about SSPRAG, or to join, please contact us at the
numbers below.

Cheers!

SUSAN
