[CANUFNET] CANUFNET Digest, Vol 246, Issue 3

Thu Sep 11 15:56:29 UTC 2025

The RBG inquest was specific to RBG and does not include a mandate for 
municipalities, conservation authorities, parks and institutions 
managing large populations of trees.  A plan text reading of the 
_Verdict for Coroner's Jury_ and the _Verdict Explanation_ does not 
indicate any recommendations that are to be applied outside of the RBG.

18 recommendations were made by the Jury and commented on by Dr. Wolski, 
the Coroner for Ontario.  These were largely implemented by RBG and Ian 
Bruce.

Reading the documents one must be very careful to interpret the 
language, specifically risk; ISO 31000 defines risk as "the effect of 
uncertainty on objectives" while risk is used to indicate likelihood of 
failure, danger, unsafe, hazard etc. in common language usage.
