Roadside Herbicide Application Program
The roadside spraying program is administered annually for weed and brush control on municipal roads and right-of-ways. This program is conducted from May to October each year. Yard-sites, beehives and dugouts will be bypassed as standard practice. Residents are responsible for control of weeds 30 metres on either side of their hedges, shelterbelts, yard sites and dugouts.
