Canadian Food Inspection Agency
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has updated its regulated areas for emerald ash borer (EAB - Agrilus planipennis) to include the City of Burnaby, in an effort to slow the insect's spread.
The regulated area in British-Columbia now includes the City of Burnaby along with the City of Vancouver, the University of British Columbia (UBC) campus, and the University Endowment Lands (UEL).
EAB is commonly spread through the movement of firewood and other infested ash wood products, although it can also spread on its own by flying up to 10 kilometers.
