FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Chemical is Used?

•The chemical used is DeltaGard manufactured by Bayer.

Mosquitos are terrible why can’t the Town spray every night?

• The chemical is applied by a licensed applicator who is required to follow all applicable instructions. The maximum number of times it can be applied in a year is 10.

Why don’t you start spraying earlier in the season?

• There are over 30 different types of mosquitos known to fly all over Alberta. The ones known to carry West Nile are types that show up in the later and hotter summer months. While we all can appreciate the nuisance that early mosquitos in May and June present, they are not the primary target of the program.

Does the Town do anything else to control mosquitos?

• Yes, we do! The Town also applies larvicide in the ditches and other areas where there is standing water and the storm water pond to prevent mosquitos from hatching.

Affordable Housing Community Engagement Sessions

By Jessica Hehr • 01 Oct, 2024

The Rural Development Network’s Sustainable Housing Initiative is working on behalf of the Chinook Foundation to gather community perspectives regarding housing needs in Cardston County and its towns and villages. The Rural Development Network (RDN) is a not-for-profit organization that provides community-social development services across Canada, with initiatives covering a wide range of areas, including rural housing, health, homelessness, and immigration. They will be hosting two virtual Community Consultations to discuss the current housing situation in Cardston County. The Sustainable Housing Initiative, on behalf of the Chinook Foundation, aims to gather insights on housing needs from the community. Feedback from these consultations will inform a “What We Heard Report,” which will also analyze the results of the community survey. It is important to note that both sessions will address the same questions, so attendance at just one is required. The virtual sessions will be recorded. Session Dates: October 3rd: 6:00 to 7:30 PM MST October 16th: 6:00 to 7:30 PM MST Event Registration Link: https://shorturl.at/an4gl For any questions, interested individuals can reach out to Jordyn Knickle at jordynk@ruraldevelopment.ca .
