Town of Oakville recognized for outstanding urban forestry plan The Town of Oakville became the first Canadian municipality to receive accreditation from the Society of Municipal Arborists (SMA) on Tuesday. The not-for-profit international organization of municipal arborists and other tree enthusiasts has singled out the Town's municipal urban forestry program for recognition. SMA President David Lefcourt praised the Town's forestry section for outstanding efforts in maintaining its urban forest, and congratulated Oakville Mayor Rob Burton for his leadership. Exceeding international standards "This accreditation recognizes the dedication you and your forestry section staff have given to the Town of Oakville and the care of its urban forest. From routine operations, to management and planning for your community forest, the Town of Oakville is exceeding international standards and setting an example for others to follow," he said. Town staff said SMA accreditation is the highest honour such a forestry plan can receive. McNeil accepts honour The Town's Manger of Forestry Services John McNeil accepted a plaque on the Town's behalf at the SMA's 51st annual International see Town on p.17 13 | Friday, November 20, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Top Dollar For Your Older Home Sell "As Is" We Have The Buyers · Builders & Renovators Need Your Home · Get Fair Market Value · Quick or Delayed Closing Options · We Guide You Through the Process Come see why we have been voted best optiCal stoRe sinCe 1994! a wide variety Of deSigner BrandS: B O O K A F R E E C O N S U LTAT I O N Cory Martin BROKER Oakville's experts in eye Care: Denise pala, niCky pala & mike mCGrath · armaNi · Tory Burch · Versace · ray BaN · marc JacoBs · carrera · coach · Juicy couTure AnD mOre...
