The following
proclamation was presented to Nicole Parent, Chair of the
Ottawa Forests and Greenspace Advisory Committee and David Barkley, Manager of
Forestry Services:
WHEREAS, National Tree Day serves as a
celebration for all Canadians to appreciate the great benefits that trees
provide us: clean air, wildlife habitat, reducing energy demand and connecting
with nature; and
WHEREAS, trees filter the air by producing
oxygen and sequestrating carbon monoxide and other pollutants; they also reduce
water run-off and soil erosion and keep local waterways clean; and
WHEREAS, the Forests and Greenspace Advisory Committee approved a motion to
designate an official day in observance of the International Year of Forests
and that this be during Canada's National Forest Week from September
18-24, 2011;
THEREFORE, I, Jim Watson, Mayor of the City of Ottawa, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, September 20, 2011 as
Tree Day in Ottawa.
