Welcome to the 8th Annual Environmental Law & Regulation in Ontario where The Honorable David J. Ramsay, Minister of Natural Resources, senior regulatory officials, environmental lawyers and executives come together to share their perspectives on the information you need to ensure environmental compliance and avoid exposing your organization to civil and criminal liability.

One of the most significant and controversial pieces of environmental legislation introduced by the Ontario government is Bill 133 — known as “the spills bill”. Bill 133 creates a class of “environmental penalties” that can be assessed immediately against companies in the event of a spill or contamination — and your organization’s due diligence efforts offer no guarantee of protection against these penalties.

Maximize your organization’s visibility in front of key decision-makers in your target market! For more information, contact Senior Business Development Executive Julie Sucharyna at 416-927-0718 ext. 302, toll-free 1-877-927-0718 ext. 302 or by e-mail at sponsorship-ci@canadianinstitute.com
