The Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks is proposing to exempt waste management systems, storm water management, and water-taking from licensing requirements.

There are four notices currently posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario with deadlines of October 30, 2023.

In this webinar, CELA staff Ramani Nadarajah and Laura Tanguay explained what types of activities this proposal will impact, the risks of allowing self-registration for the specified activities, and how it will impact government and public oversight.

We encourage you to submit your comments and make your voice heard.
