> Burlington residents are celebrating the announcement that aerial glyphosate spraying will not take place on lands scheduled for treatment. NSDOE announced today the company has dropped plans on this tract. The Stop Spraying Us Rally will recognize the amazing support given by the community, and to continue to demand an end to spraying altogether. 
> 
> Spokesperson Don Osburn says, “Our whole community is extremely relieved to hear this news. Our community has stood up with us and we have all achieved an important step in letting our government know that people are against spraying tracts of woodlands with herbicide. Please come to tomorrow’s Rally and help us celebrate with the community and let’s finish what we started.” 
> 
> “We promised each other that we would continue the call to end the spraying here even if our efforts to protect Meekin Brook were successful. We will be celebrating, but the support we’ve received convinces us that the time is right for Nova Scotians to stand up.   Glyphosate may or may not be proven to be a nerve agent, but it’s really getting on Nova Scotians’ nerves! Large tracts are still scheduled for spraying right now. We have the Government’s attention; now we need your help in sending them an irresistible message:”
