Giant Hogweed

The Municipality, in conjunction with a third-party contractor, conducts its annual spraying of noxious weeds in mid-June. Residents are encouraged to notify Municipal Staff prior to June of any sightings, so that locations can be inspected and sprayed accordingly. Spraying of noxious weeds is conducted once annually; therefore, any sighting of noxious weeds brought to Staff's attention after spraying has been conducted will be added to a list for inspection and spraying for the following year. 

The Municipality will note, inspect and spray noxious weeds (Wild Parsnip, Poison Ivy, Giant Hogweed) located within Municipal road allowances and Municipal properties. 

The County of Bruce is responsible for managing noxious weeds found within the Bruce Country road allowances, as well as on County property. If noxious weeds are found within private property, residents are encouraged to visit the Bruce County website for information on how to report.
