A unique pilot program to collect
sharps and unused livestock
pharmaceutical products will take
place in local areas of Ontario this
month as part of the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs’ (OMAFRA) Great
Lakes Program to protect water
quality in the Great Lakes Basin.
Farmers are encouraged to bring
their sharps and unused livestock
medicines to one of six pilot
collection sites across the province
for safe, free and environmentally-
friendly disposal Nov. 20-22.
Collection sites will accept used
sharps (needles, syringes, scalpel
blades) and unused livestock
medicines, but will not accept
pesticide products, including animal
pesticide products like ear tags or fly
treatments.
Unused medicated feeds will also
not be accepted. Locally a site will
be at Brussels at Brussels Agri-
Service, Newry Road, Nov. 20, 21,
22 from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
“We’re encouraging farmers to
bring their sharps and unused
pharmaceuticals to one of our
collection sites as part of this pilot
program,” says Crystal Mackay,
executive director of the Ontario
Farm Animal Council. “It’s a great
way to safely dispose of products
that might be on-farm that are no
longer needed.”
The clean sweep pilot program is
part of a larger federal-provincial
government initiative under the
2007 Canada-Ontario Agreement
Respecting the Great Lakes Basin
Ecosystem designed to protect water
quality in the Great Lakes that will
culminate in a province-wide sweep
of pesticides, sharps and unused
livestock pharmaceuticals in the fall
of 2009. The pilot project is co-
ordinated by the Ontario Farm
Animal Council and AGCare with
their partners, the Canadian Animal
Health Institute, the Ontario
Veterinary Medical Association, the
Ontario Agri Business Association
and the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

Challenge: Finding the time to be active
for sixty minutes per day
Solution:Spread physical activity throughout your daily routine to work up to 60
minutes. As you progress to more intense exercise you can cut back to 30 minutes
4 times per week. Get started by:
• Walking for 10 minutes several times a day – walk instead of taking the car to
the store, or mailbox, slip out for a walk at lunchtime, or join a friend for a morning
or evening walk.
• Walking briskly, jogging, cycling, swimming, skipping or dancing for 20
minutes or more.
• Substituting an activity break for a coffee break – bend, stretch, and flex to
keep your muscles relaxed and joints mobile for 10 minutes at a time. You can do
this at home, at work or out in the great outdoors.
• Trying 10 minutes of muscle strengthening or weight resistance activities such
as situps, push-ups or weights while you watch TV or before going to bed.
• Taking a break and play actively with your kids for 10 minutes or more.
• Finding more ways to keep active by checking out the “healthy body quiz” at
