Petition for SUSTAINABLE PEST MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR RICHARDSON'S GROUND SQUIRRELS
September 13, 2024
The RM of Frenchman Butte, in partnership with the Northwest Municipalities Association, is leading a petition to the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health. The petition addresses the urgent need for a sustainable pest management strategy for Richardson’s Ground Squirrels (RGS), which have become a severe problem across the Prairie landscape.
We are requesting that the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) reassess their decision to cancel the use of strychnine for RGS control.
You can support this petition by signing it at the RM of Frenchman Butte office until Friday, October 11, 2024, at 4:00 pm. For more information, please click on link below;
