Furthermore, the London Plan speaks to management, restoration and rehabilitation priorities for the City of London:

1417_ The City will encourage rehabilitation and enhancement measures that protect the ecological function and integrity of the Natural Heritage System. The City of London Subwatershed Plans provide guidance for the types of measures that may be identified through secondary plans, environmental impact studies, the Environmental Assessment process or other environmental studies or programs. Rehabilitation and enhancement measures may be implemented through conservation master plans, woodland management plans, or invasive species management plans on publicly-owned land and through stewardship and conservation programs for privately-owned lands.

On December 28, 2016 the Province approved The London Plan with modifications.

Ontario Invasive Species Strategic Plan, 2012

The Ontario Invasive Species Strategic Plan was designed to outline objectives emphasizing the need to prevent new invasives from arriving and establishing in Ontario, to slow or reverse existing colonies, and reduce the negative impacts of established species.

There is no single piece of federal legislation that comprehensively deals with the control, prevention, and management of invasive species. Ontario is the only jurisdiction in Canada with such focused legislation. The strategic plan addresses the need for an Ontario perspective on invasive species management, and highlights the need for improved communication and coordination between federal, provincial, and municipal levels of government, and the integration of industry and non-government organizations

Ontario Invasive Species Act, 2015

The Ontario Invasive Species Act came into force November 3, 2016.
