It is the urban and cultural hub of the larger employees, the public and community Comox Valley with many beaches, rivers and lakes and natural the environment by using outdoor recreational spaces No of machines: 1 MW-Series Foamstream. Areas treated: Asphalt, concrete and cobbles Previous methods used: Hand weeding, mechanical weed eaters Website: www.courtenay.ca/ BACKGROUND The City of Courtenay is on Vancouver Island. As a city, they are environmentally focused and concerned about their residents’ welfare and as such wanted to minimize exposure to unnecessary pesticides wherever possible. In 2007, they passed a law to regulate the non-essential use of pesticides in the city. This was in order to help minimize any potential risk posed to health or the well-being of the environment and was imposed on public and private land. TESTIMONIAL “Foamstream is a very safe product from both the perspective of the operator and the surrounding environment. It has created great interest with the public and even requests for us to treat private properties. Thanks to Foamstream we no longer have to worry about our operators injuring themselves or becoming fatigued and we can be confident that we won’t receive insurance claims for damage to vehicles which has happened with previous methods. The service support team at Weedingtech are brilliant and always on hand should we need help with our machines.” Barry Boguski - Public Works Services, City of Courtenay.
