Councillor Lo, representing Barrhaven East, tabled a notice of motion at the Environment and Climate Change Committee of February 25 that would essentially invalidate the Tree Protection Bylaw by giving homeowners the right to remove trees of any size or condition from their properties. Should this motion ever make it to Committee, the Greenspace Alliance will strongly oppose it, along with its many tree-loving partners and allies. The next meeting of the ECCC is on April 21 2026.
