Landscape Ontario’s Integrated Pest Management Symposium has been a uniquely respected event since 1965. Times have changed, and the program has been revamped to add more value and be more relevant than ever.

The event only took place in Toronto this year, in conjunction with Congress, Canada’s leading green industry trade show. The speaker program was especially exciting this year.
