The City of Vancouver (to include the Vancouver Parks Board) The City of Vancouver is responsible for finalizing and implementing a treatment program of public lands in the City of Vancouver, in consultation with the Province, the CFIA and industry contractors, as required. [...] The City of Burnaby The City of Burnaby is responsible for finalizing and implementing a treatment program of public lands in the City of Burnaby, in consultation with the Province, the CFIA and industry contractors, as required. [...] The City of Port Coquitlam (“PoCo”) The City of Port Coquitlam is responsible for finalizing and implementing a treatment program of public lands in the City of Port Coquitlam, in consultation with the Province, the CFIA and industry contractors, as required. [...] The City of Vancouver continued to see a decline in the number of beetles detected (28 beetles in the regulated area; one beetle outside of the regulated area). [...] Current Regulatory Controls As a result of the number of detections found in 2022 which were outside of the Burnaby and Vancouver regulated areas, the federal Phytosanitary Requirements to Prevent the Spread of Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) in Canada and the United States (D-96-15) were revised in May 2023.
