[2025] Our comments/feedback re COCT "Weed Spraying" website Info Page

 

[2025] COCT published this Info webpage in winter 2025 - it is supposed to contain most up-to-date spray schedules but rarely shows accurate "actual" spray date information (the page also says nothing about the other chemicals the City's appointed contractor has been spraying in the past few years).
