<p class=MsoNormal>We have come to a point in Saskatoon where we need to start to
readdress our tree protection policy. This year alone, we anticipate the loss
of ¾ million dollars to construction projects. I have been requested by council
to address how we are protecting our trees from construction(Ironic as they are
driving the development). Anyways, I would appreciate any documentation for
your respective municipalities (urban or rural) that I may be able to take a
look at so I can start rewriting our policies and turn them into a potential
bylaw.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you everyone<o:p></o:p></p>
