The Lancaster Park Golf and Curling Club is committed 
to developing environmental strategies to protect, 
conserve and enhance our ecosystems.  Through 
sustainable development and environmental management
the operations and activities at the club will result 
in minimal environmental impact.

To achieve the goals established by the Department of 
National Defence Sustainable Development Strategy, an 
Environmental Management System has been established 
that will be maintained and continually improved over 
time.  One part of this Environmental Management 
System is our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan.  

By taking this proactive approach we are able to 
exhibit due diligence in the area of environmental 
management and promote sustainable development.  
The Lancaster Park Golf and Curling Club will meet or 
exceed all federal laws, respect the Code of 
Environmental Stewardship, and encourage pollution 
prevention.

What is IPM?
IPM is a healthy approach to keeping pest populations 
(weeds, insects, disease, etc.) under control.  IPM 
is how the Lancaster Park Golf and Curling Club 
coordinates all necessary pest management techniques 
using environmentally sound methods.  The goal of our 
IPM plan is to manage our ecosystems to prevent 
organisms from becoming pests. The basic components 
of our IPM program are:

1) Identify potential pests.
2) Monitor our environments.
3) Determine the best way to manage our environments
   to prevent organisms from becoming pests.
4) Using injury thresholds reduce pest populations to
   acceptable levels by combining cultural, 
   mechanical, biological, and when necessary 
   chemical controls.  
5) Evaluate the effects and efficiencies of our 
   strategies.
