<p>It is not as simple as changing the tree bylaw. Provincial
statutes also affect this issue, along with Municipal
statutes, codes and policies. There is well established case
law on the matter which I have described in
<i>Trees and the Law in Canada.</i><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m interested in your thoughts on a
matter we are dealing with here at the City of Kitchener.
Our legal department is recommending we amend our City Tree
By-law to create an exception which would allow people to
cut roots of municipal trees, for the purpose of unblocking
sewer laterals. We have fairly standard language that states
<span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">no
person is permitted to prune or remove any part of a City
tree, and legal is arguing that people who clear roots
from sewers are technically in violation of the by-law.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
