Kelly Malmberg is the Western Canada Sales Representative for AdvantageVM. AdvantageVM is a proud Canadian-owned company that provides customers with herbicides to manage invasive weeds and brush throughout Canada.
SARM (Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities) has recently released the Invasive Plant Control Program for 2026-27 and funding assistance is available to undertake and coordinate the control of prohibited weeds as well as specific noxious weeds that are persistent and problematic invasive plants. SARM will administer a 50:50 cost-share rebate program in the amount of $856,000 to assist with costs to control all prohibited weeds and eligible herbicide costs to control a limited number of noxious weeds of high concern designated under The Weed Control Act.
RMs (Rural Municipalities) and FNs (First Nations) south of the Northern Administrative District are eligible to claim for RM appointed or FN authorized Weed Inspector expenses related to prohibited and noxious weed monitoring in their jurisdictions.
The deadline to claim under the 2026-27 IPCP is October 31, 2026.
