potato and tomato growing Central Saanich

Does anyone have any extra news about the changes to CFIA regulations for Central Saanich re:golden nematodes?  Does this mean the ban is lifted for some farms?  How do we find out?

Thanks!

    Yes! It's lifted for all farms except a few that have tested positive for the nematode that should have received direct notice from CFIA. Here's the government notice: https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2025/2025-12-03/html/sor-dors235-eng.html
