Environmental Legislation in Canada and the US

Canadian and US environmental regulations differ. Understand these differences so you can mitigate risk of civil and criminal penalties, harm to human health and the environment, operational downtime, and loss of social license to operate.

Upon completion of this 90 minute webinar, you’ll be able to:

  • Understand the relative powers of different levels of government to regulate the environment in Canada and the United States.
  • Explain differences in how certain environmental matters are regulated in Canada and the United States and how your organization can comply.
  • Describe sources of influence on Canadian and American legislation.
  • Appreciate the need to treat the Canadian and American regulatory regimes as separate and distinct.
  • Know which tools your organization can use to design audit programs and legal registers that meet local requirements.

Why is this webinar topic important for environmental professionals?

Organizations look to environmental professionals to know and understand relevant environmental regulations.

Environmental professionals, and the organizations who employ them, who are not informed of the relevant environmental regulations risk civil and criminal penalties, harm to human health and the environment, operational downtime, and loss of social license to operate.

Reconnaissance des terres

Dans un esprit de respect, de réciprocité et de vérité, nous honorons et reconnaissons Moh’kinsstis, le territoire traditionnel du Traité 7 et les pratiques orales de la confédération des Pieds-Noirs : Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, ainsi que les nations Îyâxe Nakoda et Tsuut’ina. Nous reconnaissons que ce territoire abrite la Nation métisse de l’Alberta, la région 3 au sein de la patrie historique des Métis du Nord-Ouest. Enfin, nous reconnaissons toutes les nations qui vivent, travaillent et se divertissent sur ce territoire, et qui l’honorent et le célèbrent.
