Weed Control

There have been some questions about the Town’s weed control. The Town has already sprayed each area once, most spots twice, and aiming to spray all areas twice. The type of weed control used is “Touchdown” (is a form of Round-up) It is purchased from GMACS and “Par 3” is selective broadleaf herbicide and purchased from Viterra. Both of these suppliers are local businesses.

The Town has tried to be timely in the application of weed control but sometimes it doesn’t always work out. Did you know the Town maintains 650,295.1 m² of grounds including the application of weed control? Here are the green spaces around Town; the Town doesn’t maintain all of them directly, some are done through contracts.
