Great pictures.
Sucks for you for the sewer line expansion.
Just 2 days ago we sold our house in Sylvan, and I’m glad it is gone it is a super expensive town to own property, high taxes, super high base rate for utilities ( water sewer and garbage). And the town office people don’t even answer the phone and you have to leave a message and hopefully you get a call back a day or two later..

FYI
It’s not provincial legislation, it’s federal.
Migratory bird act.
Usually engineering firms do construction outside the window of birds that have young in nest (usually fall/winter).
It was an unspoken rule until about 5 years ago. Now everyone is following the rules.
I did think it was a pain at first, But all it takes is a little more planning.
I am all for it. Birds are a big part of a healthy ecosystem.
Thumbs up to you for the nice habitat your making.

Many Tks for the informative post, I thought the Act mainly applied to large birds such as Eagles, Falcons, Owls etc. not small birds like Swallows, learned something new today.
The two chicks departed the nest box this afternoon, the family hung around flying in circles and then moved on, took the nest box down, hope to see them back next year.
Notified the Town's P. Eng, the tree removal contractor can proceed accordingly.
Cheers
David
