Together, the City of Ottawa, Canada’s Forest Trust Corporation (CFTC) and Cool Climate Club (CCC) have launched a campaign to support the city’s tree planting programs. The first of its kind for any municipality, this sponsorship supports Ottawa's climate action strategy by rallying businesses, leaders and residents to support the growth of Ottawa’s tree canopy and ensure a healthier environment for generations to come.
