An update from this campaign
On January 26, 2015, West Vancouver unanimously passed a resolution "that all vendors of retail petroleum products in Canada be legislated to provide warning labels on all pump handles." It has since been endorsed by over 50 communities in Canada and is also being pursued by several cities in the U.S. Recently, the City of Guelph has been exploring implementing the idea. Is Waterloo next?
Robert will be taking this opportunity to speak about how his concept is now being adopted by Canadian municipalities and other recently emerging work.
