The City reminds residents that the provincial ban on pruning elm trees will be in effect between Wednesday, April 1 and Monday, August 31, 2020.
The ban ensures that elm bark beetles, which transmit Dutch elm disease (DED), are not attracted to the freshly pruned trees at the time when these beetles are most active. Anyone wishing to prune elm trees during the ban must obtain a permit. Please call the City’s Parks Division at 306-975-3300 for information.
