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 2, 5, and 7. 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.

Important Update: No Spray Zones Change in 2026
Haying on Road Allowances

• All ratepayers must indicate an intent to hay by May 31 to the Agricultural Fieldman, in writing. Haying must be completed by July 15 and bales removed by July 31. If not completed by this deadline, ditches will be mowed.

No Spray Zones will only be honoured under the following conditions:

• The landowner provides valid proof of Certified Organic status, such as a
  certificate from a recognized body.
• At the discretion of the Municipal District, based on specific circumstances
  deemed justifiable.

All requests must be submitted with appropriate documentation for review. The MD reserves the right to decline or revoke No Spray Zone status if the requirements are not met.

Any ratepayer/renter with valid circumstances to justify a no spray zone on specific M.D. of Provost road allowances must submit a written request to the Agricultural Fieldman. Please submit requests to Murray Downing 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 Requests submitted last year are no longer valid and must be re-submitted for 2026. Spraying requests must be received as soon as possible to ensure we can consider your request.

Please note that if a roadside is not sprayed by authorized request of a ratepayer
that the weed/brush control for that particular road will become the responsibility
of that ratepayer.
