CP Rail to spray herbicides

The August 2014 Notice To Residents from CPR indicates that in addition to returning the rail line to operating standards, CP will also be spraying herbicides to ‘prevent the re-growth of stubborn weeds on our right of way’ in accordance with their Integrated Vegetation Management Plan 2010.  Maple Community Garden Executive does not have any further detail regarding the proposed use of herbicides by CPR.
