Congratulations
to Mayor Grace Losier
on receiving the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond
Jubilee Medal. Mayor Losier was
nominated for the Jubilee Medal by the Union
of Municipalities of New Brunswick and
presented with the Medal at annual Union of
Municipalities Conference held in
Fredericton September 28 – 30, 2012.
Diamond Jubilee Medal
Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee
Medal
A new commemorative medal was created to
mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th
anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth
II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of
Canada. The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond
Jubilee Medal is a tangible way for Canada
to honour Her Majesty for her service to
this country. At the same time, it serves to
honour significant contributions and
achievements by Canadians.
Description of the medal
The obverse depicts a crowned image of the
Sovereign, in whose name the medal is
bestowed. The reverse marks the sixtieth, or
diamond, anniversary of the accession to the
Throne of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The anniversary is expressed by the central
diamond shape, by the background composed of
a pattern of diamonds, and by the two dates.
The Royal Cypher consists of the Royal Crown
above the letters EIIR (i.e., Elizabeth II
Regina, the latter word meaning Queen in
Latin). The maple leaves refer to Canada,
while the motto VIVAT REGINA means “Long
live The Queen!”
The ribbon uses a new arrangement of the
blue, red and white colours found in the
1953 Coronation Medal, the 1977 Silver
Jubilee Medal, and the 2002 Golden Jubilee
Medal.

TOWN OF GRAND
BAY-WESTFIELD RECEIVES
NEW BRUNSWICK HORTICULTURAL
TRADES ASSOCIATION ANNUAL AWARD
The Town of Grand Bay-Westfield was one of
the recipients of a pair of annual awards
given at the New Brunswick Horticultural
Trades Association's annual meeting held in
Fredericton in January 2003. The award
to the Town was in recognition of its
tendering of landscape work according to the
principles of integrated pest management.
IPM, as it is known in the landscaping
industry, aims to systematically reduce the
use of chemical herbicides and pesticides
by, among other things, studying the land
and applying chemicals only when and where
they are needed, rather than regularly
blanketing entire areas.
This is the next step in sustainable,
environmentally friendly turf care, said
Jack Wetmore, the provincial group's
representative in the industry's national
association, the Canadian Nursery Landscape
Association. It's a step forward.
Grand Bay-Westfield, Mr. Wetmore said, is
the first community in New Brunswick, and
possibly the first in Canada, to tender
landscape work according to IPM.

Another winner for Grand Bay -
Westfield !
The New Brunswick Horticultural Trades
Association applauds the Town of Grand Bay-Westfield
for its positive approach to municipal lawn care
practices.
The town recently issued a tender call for
maintaining a portion of its properties using
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - the first true
tender for IPM in turf in New Brunswick.
'The approach taken in this tender represents
a quantum leap forward in pesticide reduction concepts
for the province ' a concept that sets the stage for
environmentally responsible turf management practices
for the future, said Jack Wetmore, the IPM and
conservation project coordinator for the association.
The tender was awarded to Urban Landscaping of St.
John, one of the leading IPM firms in the association.
Integrated Pest Management sets out three key
criteria in turf care:
- cataloguing turf areas by management categories
- high, medium and low - based on a concept
developed in British Columbia;
- monitoring to determine the extent of pest
problems; and
- establishing pest threshold levels - weed and
insect population benchmarks to be met before the
use of pesticides.
In Laval, Que., research found that applying
these three criteria can reduce pesticide use by more
than 80 per cent while still maintaining the same
appearance standards for turf. Said
Mr. Wetmore: “These concepts are very much in
the embryonic stage in turf care in our region at the
moment. While solid information exists elsewhere,
sources are widely dispersed and little has been pulled
together for our region. The Grand Bay-Westfield tender
has some gaps as a result, but this in no way diminishes
the significance of their undertaking.
The New Brunswick Horticultural Trades
Association, in cooperation with the Provincial
Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture
and the Department of Environment and Local
Government, has been working to compile information
for the region in an IPM guideline for turf care. It
is also conducting trials to validate 'outside'
recommendations. The guideline project has just
reached circulation stage for initial drafts. Its
content will provide the necessary technical
background to close the gap in similar future
projects.
''Both community staff and cooperating
personnel within the Departments of Environment and
Agriculture deserve the strongest possible recognition
for Grand Bay - Westfield's landmark initiative," said
Mr. Wetmore. "It represents the most tangible
demonstration we've seen in the turf field to date to
support the environmental stewardship efforts of
Environment, Agriculture and industry."

TOWN OF GRAND
BAY-WESTFIELD RECEIVES
NEW BRUNSWICK HORTICULTURAL
TRADES ASSOCIATION ANNUAL AWARD
The Town of Grand Bay-Westfield was one of
the recipients of a pair of annual awards
given at the New Brunswick Horticultural
Trades Association's annual meeting held in
Fredericton in January 2003. The award
to the Town was in recognition of its
tendering of landscape work according to the
principles of integrated pest management.
IPM, as it is known in the landscaping
industry, aims to systematically reduce the
use of chemical herbicides and pesticides
by, among other things, studying the land
and applying chemicals only when and where
they are needed, rather than regularly
blanketing entire areas.
This is the next step in sustainable,
environmentally friendly turf care, said
Jack Wetmore, the provincial group's
representative in the industry's national
association, the Canadian Nursery Landscape
Association. It's a step forward.
Grand Bay-Westfield, Mr. Wetmore said, is
the first community in New Brunswick, and
possibly the first in Canada, to tender
landscape work according to IPM.

Another winner for Grand Bay -
Westfield !
The New Brunswick Horticultural Trades
Association applauds the Town of Grand Bay-Westfield
for its positive approach to municipal lawn care
practices.
The town recently issued a tender call for
maintaining a portion of its properties using
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - the first true
tender for IPM in turf in New Brunswick.
'The approach taken in this tender represents
a quantum leap forward in pesticide reduction concepts
for the province ' a concept that sets the stage for
environmentally responsible turf management practices
for the future, said Jack Wetmore, the IPM and
conservation project coordinator for the association.
The tender was awarded to Urban Landscaping of St.
John, one of the leading IPM firms in the association.
Integrated Pest Management sets out three key
criteria in turf care:
- cataloguing turf areas by management categories
- high, medium and low - based on a concept
developed in British Columbia;
- monitoring to determine the extent of pest
problems; and
- establishing pest threshold levels - weed and
insect population benchmarks to be met before the
use of pesticides.
In Laval, Que., research found that applying
these three criteria can reduce pesticide use by more
than 80 per cent while still maintaining the same
appearance standards for turf. Said
Mr. Wetmore: “These concepts are very much in
the embryonic stage in turf care in our region at the
moment. While solid information exists elsewhere,
sources are widely dispersed and little has been pulled
together for our region. The Grand Bay-Westfield tender
has some gaps as a result, but this in no way diminishes
the significance of their undertaking.
The New Brunswick Horticultural Trades
Association, in cooperation with the Provincial
Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture
and the Department of Environment and Local
Government, has been working to compile information
for the region in an IPM guideline for turf care. It
is also conducting trials to validate 'outside'
recommendations. The guideline project has just
reached circulation stage for initial drafts. Its
content will provide the necessary technical
background to close the gap in similar future
projects.
''Both community staff and cooperating
personnel within the Departments of Environment and
Agriculture deserve the strongest possible recognition
for Grand Bay - Westfield's landmark initiative," said
Mr. Wetmore. "It represents the most tangible
demonstration we've seen in the turf field to date to
support the environmental stewardship efforts of
Environment, Agriculture and industry."

Project Coordinator. 357-6324 jwetmore@nbnet.nb.ca
