Oak Wilt Found in Ontario

Forestry and related industries have been on high alert for many years now as oak wilt has been threatening to invade from adjacent states in the US.

Oak wilt is a destructive vascular wilt disease caused by the fungus Bretziella fagacearum. It spreads from infected trees through root grafts underground, or the spores may be transported by wind or bark beetles to other trees. The disease can cause a tree’s rapid decline and death within one growing season.

Crescent Boulevard now one-way street

Access to Crescent Boulevard from Queensway will be for southbound traffic only. Two-Way traffic will resume south of the intersection of Crescent Boulevard and Hawthorne Avenue.
