    THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor write to the President and CEO of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, as well as the Chair of the Board, to convey Council’s request for the Authority to replant an equivalent number of trees in Ottawa, by partnering with an organization(s) that specialize in tree planting.
