Even Congress was able to come together to pass such an impor- tant initiative. It’s regrettable the Ontario Legislature could not do the same,” Wilson added. More than one million, fresh farm-grown Christmas trees are purchased each year in On- tario, and the same number of seedlings are planted each year. There are 647 Christmas tree farms in Ontario – more than any other province in Canada. The Simcoe-Grey MPP went on to say his proposed legislation would have given the Christmas tree industry an opportunity to encourage more consumers to buy Christmas trees. Wilson further spoke of the environmental benefi ts of Christmas trees, saying “One acre of trees removes up to 13 tonnes of airborne pollutants. “Despite refusing to support this important rural industry, I would like to offi cially de- clare Saturday December 6th as Christmas Tree Day. I encourage all Ontarians to go out and pur- chase a real tree for the holiday season,” Wilson concluded.
