Recent changes to Alberta’s Weed Control Act include removing Creeping Bellflower and Perennial Sow Thistle. To find out more about these and other changes, view Alberta Weed Control Act Regulation Changes.

Strathcona County works with residents to resolve weed control issues. Weeds don't stay inside fences or stop at property lines. We encourage everyone in our community to work together to help control weeds.
