The city of Thunder Bay has been added to
the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s quarantine zone to the west and the
Municipalités Régionales de Comtés of Joliette and D'Autray in Quebec.
“It is prohibited to move firewood of all
species, as well as ash trees, ash nursery stock or ash wood (including wood
chips, wood packaging or dunnage), out of this area without written permission
from the CFIA,” the agency says on its website.
“Moving these materials from the regulated
area without permission could lead to fines and/or prosecution.”
