[CANUFNET] Bylaws

Hi Michael,


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.


Quebec's Loi sur l'aménagement et l'urbanisme gives municipalities the power to legislate tree protection, particularly articles 79,1 and 113. The law is available for consultation here : http://www2.publicationsduquebec.gouv.qc.ca/dynamicSearch/telecharge.php?type=2&file=/A_19_1/A19_1.html  Not sure if an English translation is available.


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 using GoogleChrome. Once the site has loaded, right click anywhere on the page and click "Translate into English." That should cover the main points for Quebec: http://www.mamrot.gouv.qc.ca/amenagement-du-territoire/guide-la-prise-de-decision-en-urbanisme/reglementation/plantation-et-abattage-des-arbres/


Hope that helps!


All the best,

Meg

Hello Canadian Urban Forest Network!

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:

Your province
The provincial Act that allows municipalities in your province to pass bylaws on:
- municipal lands
- private lands
- other lands

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.

Thank you. Hope to see you all at CUFC2016 - early bird rates end June 15!
