My husband and I moved to Port Colborne 9 years ago and we have enjoyed every minute. We became volunteers with the city and participate in all the events. We are treated like family by city staff. We love our quiet street and people are very friendly.

I called city hall today to discuss why they took another tree down in front of my house. According to the gentleman that I spoke to - if there is any damage from two main branches - they will not trim the damaged part ( caused from the last butcher sent from the city to trim branches) and paint the cut section to save the tree they will only "cut it down". I spoke about what is happening to my yard regarding the 2 -100 year old trees they already cut down in the last few years and how with the roots dying my yard has turned in to a sink hole. He said that was my problem, and then proceeded to make a snide remark regarding " messy bushes on the side of my house." Still not sure what a few bushes have to do with them taking trees down. Port Colborne use to be stunningly beautiful with all its big trees. It was always 5-10 degrees cooler because of them. Now with the cost of utilities on the rise, bad air quality, and Port Colborne cutting down trees - I fear this city will be as hot as other big cities. As soon as I have finished morning the loss of my husband I will be moving from this city. I do not want to live in a heat box with no birds. There was 2 screech owls that use to nest in that tree, not sure where they are now not sure the city even cares. My daughters were born in this home - right upstairs and it will be sad to move but I cant live without trees and I do not have another 100 years to wait for saplings to grow.
