The following pesticides registered under the Pest Control Products Act (Canada) will be used:

  • Roundup WeatherPRO (PCP Reg. #33653), containing the active ingredient Glyphosate, present as potassium salt.

This work is being undertaken in accordance with the Public Works exception to the Cosmetic Pesticides Ban as mentioned in subsection 7.1(2) of the Pesticides Act, for the promotion of public health and safety.

Phragmites are being controlled as the growth of this plant within the right-of-way reduces sight-lines and has a negative impact on storm water drainage.

Anyone not wishing to have the roadside adjacent to their property treated for Phragmites should contact Nathan Schoelier (Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority) at 519-235-2610.

Commencing August 21st, 2024 (weather permitting) and ending approximately October 31, 2024 by Ausable Bayfeild Conservation Authority.
