<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Hi Michael,</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Great question to get a bit of discussion going. So I'm speaking from the outlier here seeing as very few information is available in English for the Province of Quebec. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Quebec's
</span><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Loi sur l'aménagement et l'urbanisme</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"> gives municipalities the power to legislate tree protection, particularly articles

<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">But for those who would like some more easy-to-digest info to synthesize all of our bylaw jargon, I suggest you go to the following website

<p class="MsoNormal">After returning from a major municipal meeting in Winnipeg (FCM) I can tell you that there is very strong interest in tree bylaws across the country. We at Tree Canada are familiar with tree bylaws in some provinces, but not all. Could
you, if you have the time and the information please send me information stating:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your province<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The provincial Act that allows municipalities in your province to pass bylaws on:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- municipal lands<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- private lands<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- other lands <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are hoping to accumulate information for every province (and territory). Please feel free to send any other information or web link you think would be helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>
