Emerald Ash Borers
While not in the ARECA at the moment, there are
significant portions of Toronto where they are
killing trees and causing the trees to be cut
down. Trees on private property will need
to be removed at the property owner's expense.

This matter was considered by Council in

Environment Committee. This committee next
sits on Oct. 11th.
