PCB Removal & Destruction Updates, Compliance and Enforcement

Have you taken action to rid your business of PCBs?

Environment Canada released new PCB Regulations (SOR/2008-273) in September 2008, requiring the disposal and destruction of PCBs. The first significant deadline for PCB disposal and destruction passed on December 31, 2009. Is your business in compliance? Does your business qualify for an extension? What are the penalties for non-compliance?

Be diligent and learn the answers to these important questions and more by participating in this half-day seminar.

Hear presentations from legal practitioners, Environment Canada representatives, and environmental business leaders. Real case studies will be discussed and opinions shared.

It's an informative morning of presentations, panel discussions, questions and answers along with breakfast and lunch for networking.
