This OMAFRA Factsheet is not new, but it has a lot of good information, if you’ve ever wondered, “Do I have to let my neighbour run his tile across my place to a sufficient outlet, and do I have to help pay the costs?” or “Can my neighbour outlet his tile over the fence onto my land, end it a few metres away from the property line on his side, or outlet it into my private ditch?”
2,4-D- and Dicamba-tolerant Crops — Some Facts to Consider

If you’re worried that some of your neighbourhood sprayer operators don’t yet have their equipment optimized to avoid drift, these guys say maybe you can point them to another good resource, Sprayers101.
