<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Jalil,</div><div><br></div><div>The non-profit I work at in Montreal runs a program called <a href="https://grame.org/ensemble-on-verdit/">Ensemble on verdit</a> which offers subsidized trees to residents, for both new trees and replacement ones, and we do the actual tree planting as well. If I'm not mistaken it's not dissimilar to Leaf's program in Toronto.</div><div><br></div><div>We operate primarily in the West Island, the nature of Montreal geopolitics being that there are about a dozen demerged municipalities that aren't part of the City of Montreal proper (Dorval, Beaconsfield, DDO, etc.). We have an agreement which each one individually, some of them assume the cost in full and the resident pays nothing, in others the resident still pays a couple of hundred or so. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm not the person who's actually in charge of the program, but I can direct you to my colleague(s) if you want to discuss further. I believe there's also a UofT student who recently reached out to us about our program, which could be a further avenue for collaboration. Let me know.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>----<div><table style="border:medium;border-collapse:collapse;margin-left:0px;margin-right:auto"><colgroup><col width="93"><col width="89"><col width="445"></colgroup><thead><tr style="height:86.3311pt"><th scope="col" style="vertical-align:middle;padding:5pt;overflow:hidden"><p dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Montserrat,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="border:none;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;width:79px;height:79px"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfxCa8av6bjjVAZsxA9w92IIE1BOsnJ9yW4s7e1YSdyHxfN0ExwrnWjoYuzczUTAgc5woXT0YifDMlgaGR9dITvbs9dXlMW1ZtQpq9nzdLHny4EZjP5eehlwBbQGA7WoXgPhjgB6NFOnZe2PleCItYOCGcZ?key=Wjnit9WNW510N2QrTwL4Hw" width="79" height="79" style="margin-left: 0px;

<p class="MsoNormal">The Private Tree Removal By-law in the Town of Oakville regulates the removal of any private tree having 15 cm. DBH and greater. Dead trees, ash trees, buckthorn, high-risk trees and imminent risk trees, confirmed by Town staff, are exempt
from the by-law.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The application for the removal of the remaining trees will be either denied or approved with tree replacement condition. The ratio of the replacement to removal is 1 tree for every 10 cm. diameter of the trees that has been permitted to
be removed.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The replacement trees must be planted within the private property unless there is no room for replacement, confirmed by the Town. In this case the tree security deposit will be used to plant trees on public property.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recently, one of the Resident’s Association in Oakville inquired about the possibility of financial support/grant or subsidized program for the tree replacement, when it is the condition of a tree removal permit.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Oakville we do not have such program. I am wondering if you know any Municipality in Canada that has any financial assistance/ grant program or subsidized tree planting for the applicants who applied for the removal of their private
trees and must plant in lieu of tree removal.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate your response.<u></u><u></u></p>
