Northern Ontario Watch
West Nipissing council passed a motion Tuesday opposing provincial herbicide spray in local forests. The MNR plans to apply glyphosate Aug. 20 to control vegetation. Coun. Jamie Restoule cites tourism, hunting and health concerns, including cancer risks. Health Canada says it's safe, but WHO linked it to possible carcinogens in 2015.
