Toxic plant found growing in park

"City of Ottawa inspectors have discovered toxic giant hogweed in a city park and on private property.

Juices from the plant, which can grow to huge heights, can cause permanent blindness, burns and scarring.

A memo distributed to city council members on Tuesday said residents are warned to stay clear of the weeds at first and call 3-1-1 for more information."
