================================================================== Sign PetitionImplement Continued Education Credits for the Ontario Structural Pest Management IndustryThe current process for Structural Pesticide Licensing in Ontario is fee based. The Structural Pest Management Association of Ontario (SPMAO) requests the implementation of Continued Education Credits (CEC’s) for the structural pest management industry. CEC’s in Ontario will strengthen the structural pest management industry and provide ongoing professionalism to stay current with best practices and techniques. Ontario is a leader in the field of structural pest management however, it is one of the last remaining provinces to implement CEC’s. This will increase government revenue and provide opportunities for industry growth at the same time providing safe practices for the people, pets and the environment of Ontario. SPMAO requests for the action of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to adjust provincial standards to include CEC’s. We petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to support CEC implementation for the Structural Pest Management Industry in Ontario. Kindly sign the petition to support this much-needed change. https://www.change.org/CECsforOntario================================================================== SPMAO After 5pm SocialsIn 2024 SPMAO organized three monthly “after 5pm” work socials, where current and considering members would gather together at a restaurant in various areas to learn about the organization and network with each other.
