look at some of the past events and future directions for the Ontario region:</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif; color: #425010;"></span></p>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;">In November the Ontario Urban Forest Council (OUFC), had held its annual conference at the Heintzman House in Markham with a diverse group of participants to discuss varied topics related to
the Urban Forest and opportunities to help retain and improve it. Some of the outcomes were a frank discussion on the role of tree bylaws and tree protection policies during the development process. An informal survey event engaging the participants did highlight
the lack of knowledge by politicians and some decision makers on the role trees have in our communities as well as some success stories of collaboration.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;"></span></li></ul>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;">The completion of the community group mapping was a major step for the OUFC, as now individuals can search geographically for the local tree groups in their area for engagement or support:

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;">OUFC Advisor, Edith George, attended the Toronto Parks and Environment Committee to show our support for the recognition of Heritage trees by the City of Toronto under their Private Tree Bylaw.
In 2008 a list of fifteen (15) trees was presented and proposed to the City of Toronto for consideration for Heritage Tree designation. This list was again presented to the City of Toronto for further recognition and we await the direction from the City. The
OUFC will be helping where we can to have more trees recognized under the City Bylaw with the OUFC/Forests Ontario Heritage Tree Program.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;"></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #425010; margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;">En novembre 2016, l'Ontario Urban Forest Council (OUFC) a organisé sa conférence annuelle à Heintzman House (Markham) avec un groupe diversifié de participants pour discuter de plusieurs sujets
visant la forêt urbaine et les possibilités de la préserver et de l'améliorer. Ceci a permis d'avoir une discussion franche sur le rôle des règlements administratifs sur les arbres et des politiques de protection des arbres dans le cadre du processus d'aménagement.
Un sondage informel réalisé auprès des participants a dévoilé que les politiciens et certains décideurs ne connaissent pas bien le rôle des arbres dans les collectivités. La conférence a également permis de partager certaines collaborations réussies.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;"></span></li></ul>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;">L'OUFC a achevé la cartographie des groupes locaux axés sur les arbres. Les gens intéressés à participer ou à offrir un appui peuvent maintenant faire une recherche géographique de ces groupes
pour voir lesquels sont dans leur région - </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;"><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=c7nf56xab.0.0.9ltbtyiab.0&id=preview&r=3&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oufc.org%2Ftree-education%2Fcommunity-action%2F" target="_blank"><span lang="FR-CA">https://www.oufc.org/tree-education/community-action/</span></a></span><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;">.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;"></span></li></ul>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;">M<sup>me</sup> Edith George, conseillère de l'OUFC, a assisté à une rencontre du Toronto Parks and Environment Committee pour démontrer notre appui de la reconnaissance des arbres du patrimoine
par la ville de Toronto dans le cadre du règlement administratif sur les arbres privés. En 2008, une liste de quinze (15) arbres a été présentée et proposée à la ville de Toronto pour qu'elle songe à les désigner comme des arbres du patrimoine. Cette liste
a de nouveau été présentée à la ville de Toronto pour qu'elle reconnaisse ces arbres et nous attendons sa décision. L'OUFC fournira son aide lorsque cela sera possible pour faire reconnaître davantage d'arbres par l'entremise du règlement administratif dans
le cadre du programme sur les arbres du patrimoine de l'OUFC/Forests Ontario.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms",sans-serif;"></span></li></ul>
