MUNICIPAL DISTRICT OF PROVOST NO. 52
ROADSIDE SPRAYING PROGRAM

The M.D. of Provost No. 52 will begin roadside spraying along municipal road allowances to control noxious weeds, restricted weeds and re-growth of brush. Blanket Spraying will be in Divisions 4 and 6. Spot Spraying will occur throughout the M.D. all summer. Herbicides being used are Clearview, Gateway, 2,4-D, Aspect, and Garlon XRT as well as Navius and Esplanade. Spraying will begin as soon as possible.
For grazing or haying restrictions contact your Agricultural Fieldman.
The M.D. of Provost will not be spraying in front of farm sites, shelterbelts or environmentally sensitive locations.
Any ratepayer/renter that does not want certain roadsides sprayed, please submit a written request to Tyler Lawrason at the Municipal District Office at Box 300, Provost, Alberta, T0B 3S0. Requests submitted last year are no longer valid and must be re- submitted for this year. Spraying requests must be received as soon as possible to ensure we can attempt to honour your request.
Please note that if a roadside is not sprayed by request of a ratepayer/renter that the weed/brush control for that particular road will become the responsibility of that ratepayer/renter.
Important Update: No Spray Zones Change in 2026
Starting in 2026, there will be changes to the No Spray Zones. Further information regarding this transition will be provided throughout the summer and fall of 2025.
