FYI:
Marbicon is again offering pesticide training for people preparing for the provincial exam or needing continuing education points. Revised this year, the course is a streamlined one-day in-person event (9:00-5:00). Because seating is limited due to the Covid spacing requirements, only 20 people may attend on any single day. Wear a mask. Lunch & snacks on your own.
The currently confirmed schedule at this time:
Monday Nov 23 – Berwick Fire Hall (300 Commercial St,
Berwick).
Tuesday Nov 24 – Berwick Fire Hall.
Thursday Nov 26 – Colchester Legion Stadium (14 Lorne St,
Truro).
Friday Nov 27 – Colchester Legion Stadium.
Cape Breton - TBA, possibly during the week of Nov 30.
Additional courses and locations will be set up if there is
sufficient demand.

or call 902-538-7101 to pre-register or to enquire about other venues. YOU
MUST PRE-REGISTER TO ATTEND. Seating is limited.
The fee is $100, payable by cash, cheque, or email / money
transfer. Includes HST and course manual.
