Strychnine Training Available – May 4 to August 1, 2026

May 4, 2026News

SARM is supporting the EUR by hosting training for both administrators and producers.

The training course is available on the SARM Website: 

https://sarm.ca/strychnine-stewardship-training/

The training  window will open from May 4, 2026 to August 1, 2026

Part of the training stewardship program involves RM’s verifying that the producers purchasing strychnine from them have completed the training.

This will allow RMs accessing and checking a list on SharePoint site. The process for verification is:

  • Each business day before noon, a list of producers/applicators who have completed the training will be posted to the SharePoint site.
  • When a producer or applicator comes to the RM office to purchase strychnine, the RM administrator will need to verify that the producer has completed the training.
  • To verify that the producer has completed the training, the administrator will need to access the current list on the SharePoint site.  

Please note, there is a delay of up to two (2) business days from time that the producer completes the training to when they will show up on the list found on the SharePoint site. For example, if the producer completes the training on a Monday, the RM administrator will not find their name on the list until Wednesday afternoon.

There is NO STRYCHNINE AVAILABLE to purchase AT THIS TIME!!
