Good day:

We have established a provincial committee here in Nova Scotia to raise 
awareness and perhaps link the need-for-shade- issue to local by-laws or 
policy etc. where appropriate.  Do you have any knowledge of municipal 
level by-laws, guidelines or policy related to land use, parks, land 
development etc. that would be relevant to our work promoting shade and 
trees?

The intent is to help make the connection between our agenda of promoting 
shade, and the established standards that exist in municipalities for 
municipal councillors - make it doable, relating to existing 
expectations?where we can.

Regards,
