[Whitton, Steve]

I sent this just to Mike, then saw others post theirs here.   So I thought I would share as well.

Hi Mike,

I am the manager of the City of Surrey's private property tree bylaw.   I have a section of 9 staff including me.   I have two clerks, 4 arborist inspectors and 2 Landscape Architects.

We get our authority (and assume all cities in BC, except for Vancouver - they have their own charter) would fall under this:

It's the Community Charter, Section 8(3)(c).

Sections 50 to 52 put specific limits on our authority.

Below my name is our website and details what we do.  If you have any other questions, please contact me.

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!
