A new campaign is reminding Albertans to do their part to help keep Alberta rat-free.
For more than 70 years, Alberta has proudly been rat-free, meaning the province prevents the pest from establishing a permanent population while dealing with any infestations.
Through Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) funding to the Alberta Invasive Species Council, the province will will put up billboards and outreach materials encouraging Albertans to report rats and rat signs.
RJ Sigurdson, Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, said, “Alberta is famously rat-free, a status we owe not just to the hard work and dedication of Rat Control staff over many decades, but also to the vigilance of Albertans. This campaign will educate and remind Albertans to do their part to keep the pest out of our province.”
