P.E.I.'s Eastern School District is taking back land it had been leasing to a local farmer after pesticide was blown on to a playground by high winds Friday.

Parent Stephen Bryanton was astonished to learn that pesticides were being sprayed on a field so close to Englewood School in Crapaud, west of Charlottetown.

"There should have been strict guidelines that were adhered to and followed," Bryanton said.

School officials did not take the incident lightly. Englewood School principal Randy Reardon brought the children back into the school as soon as he saw what was going on.
