Friends of Lanark County is disappointed that -- given the opportunity to reverse the decision taken at its last meeting County Council denied Tay Valley's request not to spray on the County roads that pass through Tay Valley. On a weighted basis, it was 52 votes supporting Tay Valley's wishes, 54 denying them their request. The vote was recorded: the people who voted against Tay Valley's wishes were: Councillors Stewart and Hall, Lanark Highlands; Councillors Dobson and Van der Meer, Montague; Councillors Kidd and Mousseau, Beckwith; Councillor Antonakos, Carleton Place; and Councillors Churchill and Code, Drummond/North Elmsley. Thanks to our letters, warning signs will be posted after spraying. Unfortunately, requests for individual notices for people who live on the spray route has been denied. In the meantime be watchful of roads near you that are slated for spraying. If you see culverts and streams that are on the spray route contact public works to let them know as it is doubtful that these are mapped. If you see any areas sprayed that shouldn't have (near water, on steep slopes, near schools etc) or spraying on windy days send a quick email to the MOE inspector Meghan.Brien@ontario.ca and tor.rustad@ontario.ca, let your councillors know and copy us if you like friendsoflanarkcounty@gmail.com. Look on the County's website URL for daily updates http://www.lanarkcounty.ca/AssetFactory.aspx?did=7402 We encourage people to still try to submit their opt out requests or adopt a section of road even if the deadline has passed as the opt out deadline was only 2 days after the newspaper notice was published. You don’t have to live on a road to adopt it. Join us on Facebook for updates. Thank you for showing your concern for our beautiful world.
