County of Lethbridge

Lethbridge County’s Agricultural Services roadside spraying program for weed control will commence any time after May 1, 2023.
Weed spraying is done during the growing season on County roads, as well as numbered highways. Pre-emergent herbicide is applied on some low use roads. Spray trucks are equipped with low-drift nozzles to greatly reduce off-target application, and applicators are constantly monitoring wind speed and direction.

If you do not want roadside spraying done next to your property, you can enter into an agreement with the County in which you will put up a “No Spray Zone” sign (supplied by Lethbridge County) and you will also be responsible for weed control in that area.

Signs must be picked up by May 1, 2023 from the Lethbridge administration office (#100, 905 4 Avenue S).  Office hours are Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The personal information requested on this form is being collected under the authority of Section 33(c) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act. The information collected will be used for the purpose for which it was collected, which is for 2022 No Spray Agreements.  For further information about the collection and use of this information please contact Lethbridge County by e-mail (click the link to e-mail: Contact FOIP Coordinator) or call (403)328-5525.
