DFO Treating Credit River with lampricide

By Issues, Ward 1

We have been notified that DFO will be treating the Credit River with lampricide (a pesticide to kill sea lamprey) in Norval.  We anticipate seeing the Credit River being a yellowish colour today, which can remain for up to 24 hours.  If the date of treatment changes, I will provide an update.

Sea lamprey are parasitic and have a major impact on our fish populations.  The lampricide is used to control sea lamprey populations and is approved for use in Canada.  The lampricide selectively kills sea lampreys without significantly harming other plants or animals or having long-term impacts on the environment.    It has been used in the Great Lakes systems since 1958.

National Drowning Prevention Week (July 17-23, 2022)

By Events, Resources, Ward 1

 

Did you know?:

  • Over 400 Canadians die in preventable water related incidents annually
  • 64% of Drownings occur from May to September
  • Most drownings in children occur when supervision is absent or distracted

The Lifesaving Society suggests the following key messages to help prevent drownings:

  • Supervise Children – Always directly supervise children around the water
  • Boating Safety – Always wear a lifejacket when in a boat.
  • Open Water safety – Make smart choices before going in, on or around the water.
  • Just Keep Learning -You can save a life, yours, and someone else’s. Take a learn-to-swim, lifesaving or first aid class today.
  • Learn to Swim – In most drownings, the victim never intended to go in the water and was often close to safety – could you survive a sudden and unexpected fall into the water?
