Pesticide & Herbicide Spraying

Pesticides are products used to kill plants, insects and plant diseases. Pesticides used on lawns and gardens include herbicides (which kill plants), insecticides (which kill insects) and fungicides (which kill fungi).

We apply some herbicides to control dandelions and other broad leaf weeds. This is done once every year or two to sport fields, approximately every three to four years in high weed density areas.

Notice

We do not have a formal spraying schedule and do not provide residents with application dates in advance as the window of application is dependent on the weather and staffing availability.

We take the health and well-being of citizens and green spaces seriously, so all herbicides and pesticides are carefully chosen and are fully certified by both the federal and provincial governments.

Signage is posted on-site and in the table below after any necessary application.
