A Better Alternative...
SNAP's mission is to work towards
environmental sustainability in
Saskatchewan by promoting better
understanding of the impact of pesticides
(insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc) on
health and environment, greater awareness
and availability of alternatives for controlling
pests, diseases and weeds, and significant
reductions in pesticide use.

The fall herbicide program is starting on
Thursday, 31 July 2014.
Check the City of Regina Pesticide Line at

Wascana Center Authority To be added to

List of the 2015 pesticide spraying schedules.
This link also has the 2014 and 2013
schedules. It is under the news item on
WCA's web site. WCA started spraying on
the week of 27 April 2015.
I personally avoid Wascana during the spray
season. But if you go and get sick, here is
what you should do
Prince Albert
t/c 953-4890 Parks. As of 6/12/15, all sports
fields were sprayed late April. Sprayed city
hall in May. Been spraying 6th,15th 28th St
medians on Wednesday this week. Yesterday
sprayed 15th & 22nd East. Will likely only be
spraying until end of June, and then certain
area again in fall like athletic fields. Not
spraying Kinsman. Won't be doing again til
the fall. Product: Premium freeway – killex.
Says its safe w/in 24 hours. Will ask boss
about putting up spray notices on city website.
