Elm Bark Beetle Control Program commences

Winnipeg, MB – On Tuesday, September 3, 2019, the City of Winnipeg is commencing the Elm Bark Beetle Control Program, weather permitting. The program is intended to control elm bark beetles, the carriers of Dutch Elm Disease (DED).

The Elm Bark Beetle Control Program will beginin Insect Management Areas 39 (Brooklands, Sargent Park, St. James Industrial), 40 (Kensington, Minto, Polo Park, St. Matthews, West Wolseley), 41 (Armstrong Point, Broadway – Assiniboine, Legislature, Portage & Main, South Portage, The Forks, West Broadway, Wolseley) and 42 (Central Park, Colony, Daniel McIntyre, Portage – Ellice, Spence, West Alexander), weather permitting.
