December 19, 2013, Ottawa: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed the presence of the emerald ash borer (EAB) in the following new locations in Ontario and Quebec:
Ontario:
- Multiple locations in the Town of Bradford in Simcoe County
Quebec:
- Terrebonne, in the municipalité régionale de comté (MRC) of Les Moulins
Movement restrictions, which prohibit the movement of all ash materials—such as logs, branches and wood chips—and all species of firewood from the affected site, will be put in place. Property owners will be notified of these restrictions. Further regulatory measures will be considered once all survey work has been completed for the year.
Additional information is available on the CFIA website at www.inspection.gc.ca/pests or by calling 1–866–463–6017.
