Re: Mosquito Control Programme

We have had a request from the Vector Control Officer and Beak
Consultants to have Council pass the usual resolution waiving Department
of Transport Air Regulations to permit aerial spray for mosquito control.

Council will recall that we pass this resolution annually to have
it on record in the event spraying becomes necessary. The policy of
Council has been to use aerial spray only when necessary and only for
larviciding. No aerial larviciding was required during 1977 in view
of the effective ground control programme.

The Committee recommends that the resolution required by the
Canadian Air Transport Administration be passed and placed on file for
the 1978 calendar year.

“Notwithstanding the hazard of low-flying aircraft over the
Municipality for the purpose of mosquito control, we wish to apply
for a waiver of Section 529, Paragraph A and B, of the Ministry of
Transport Air Regulations."
