Who we are:

The IEPMA of Western Canada is mainly an educational association, with an annual Conference held in Kelowna, BC each January as one of its main focuses. The Conference draws participants from throughout Western Canada – with speakers from government (municipal, provincial, and federal), universities, colleges, and industry. Participants in these conferences can gain CEC’s (Continuing Education Credits) toward renewal of the BC and Alberta Pesticide Applicator Certificate.

The IEPMA was originally constituted to represent professional pesticide applicators in British Columbia. Through the years, however, its membership has become more diverse, and now also includes landscape consultants and representatives from commercial nurseries, school districts, golf courses, and various departments of municipal governments.

The forerunner of the IEPMA was the Environmental Standards Association, formed in 1983 in Kelowna, B.C. The association was reconstituted in Penticton, B.C. in 1992 as the IEPMA.
