Agriculture
The Agriculture Division and the Agricultural Service Board work hand in hand to deliver agricultural based programming for the municipal ratepayer. The Agricultural Service Board is the policy recommending body to Council, while the Agricultural Department is the implementation and enforcement arm of the operations.
Priorities of the Agriculture Division include training landowners to control weeds, diseases and insects, to prevent the establishment of new weeds, roadside vegetation management, and to prevent soil erosion.
