Introduction ...

The identification and reporting of noxious weed infestations is critical for the success in controlling the spread of these weeds. Without early detection and eradication measures, these weeds become larger problems that require expensive and time consuming treatment programs. Please report noxious weeds to your local authority. For weed infestations occuring on private or municipal lands, please contact your local Regional District or municipality weed control officer or by-law officer.
