Notice to Residents RE: Giant Hogweed

Notice to Residents
Town of South Bruce Peninsula


Bruce County Weed Inspector, Ken Goldsmith has confirmed the identity of Giant
Hogweed plants in South Bruce Peninsula and urges any property owners who
may have this weed growing on their property to contact him immediately so that
he may advise of the proper procedures to destroy the plant. Property owners
are also advised to post a warning sign to alert the public.

Giant Hogweed constitutes a public health hazard. Its clear, watery sap contains
a glucoside, which causes phyto-dermatitis. Skin contact with sap followed by
exposure to sunlight can produce painful, burning blisters that may develop into
purplish or blackened scars. It can take up to two or three months to heal.

For more information, please contact the Town Public Works Department at 519-
534-1400 ext 130 or Mr. Ken Goldsmith, Bruce County Weed Inspector at 519-
534-2092.
