A Coquitlam advisory group that's looking at whether the city should implement a cosmetic pesticide ban is accepting ideas from the public until Friday.

Coun. Linda Reimer, chair of the city's sustainability and environmental advisory committee, told The Tri-City News last Thursday's inaugural meeting covered the controversial topic but the nine members made no resolution.

She said city staff are now preparing reports for the next meeting, scheduled for May 18, and the committee is also looking for public input on the proposed pesticide ban, which Coun. Selina Robinson returned to the city council table in March.

To email submissions on the proposed pesticide ban, contact committee clerk Mia Woerler at mwoerler.coquitlam.ca.
