On May 14th, Maple Leaves Forever (MLF) met in Ottawa with the National Capital Commission (NCC) to request that:
“If a maple tree is to be planted in the Ottawa region
it must be a Native Canadian Maple”
This was favourably received with the next step being MLF making a formal request to the NCC Board at the end of June.
