where do you register for the buffer zone..(not on line)I looked on the link provided , but it didn't say the address or location to physically apply for a buffer zone..thanks

You go to the buzz article above and click on the link for to buffer zone registration, then on the form itself,the address is there. Since I have now done that for you, here is the address:  
City of Brandon Community Services  
2020 McGregor Avenue  
Brandon, MB  
R7A 4B5  
 
You will need to fill out the form and take it there

thank you for the info....

buffer zones for fire pits! Can't even have windows open when one of those are lit.

If its enough of a bother to you contact the fire dept.  
 
That said when the last time the weather was calm enough to have a fire with zero wind at all. Just putting it out there it's an option for you.  
 
As per the fire pit permit:  
 
Requirements for the Use of All Outdoor Burning Appliances  
 
1. Fire shall be supervised at all times. 2. Shall not be used indoors or on balconies. 3. Material which may be burned shall consist only of seasoned wood or charcoal. 4. If smoke from a fire causes an unreasonable interference to another person’s property, the fire shall be extinguished immediately. 5. All appliances shall be located on a flat, level and non-combustible base clear of overhangs such as roofs, tree branches, and utility wires. 6. All appliances require a minimum 1.5 m (5’) clearance from any property line, building or other combustible structure/material.

I do not think it is fair that a person can apply for a buffer zone and it reaches onto my property meaning I would be subjected to mosquitoes.

All I ask is to have notice when spraying occurs so I can keep my windows closed. It's annoying to work outside and get eaten by mosquitos!

We are in a buffer zone every year thanks to the old lady behind us who is never even outside. Little does she know, we have our own sprayer and malathion and we spray our yard weekly.

I find it amazing that smoking is not allowed where it affects others yet spraying chemicals is.  
 
I would rather have the mosquitoes than the chemicals and yes I don't like mosquitoes either.

I am not saying you don't have a point to make but your comparison is flawed. If you have applied for a spraying buffer, it dictates your neighbor will likely not be spayed. No one can control whether or not a neighbor smokes in their yard.
