The Lheidli T’enneh First Nation in north-central B.C. has announced a complete ban on herbicides, including glyphosate, across its 41,000 square kilometers of unceded territory, citing environmental and health concerns. Elected Chief Dolleen Logan stated the ban aims to protect biodiversity and community well-being, expecting compliance from government and industry. While the city of Prince George uses herbicides sparingly for infrastructure, it seeks to collaborate with the nation on alternatives. This decision aligns with growing scrutiny and calls for a glyphosate phase-out in B.C., reflecting research linking the chemical to potential health risks.
