Take Away Practical Information to Help You Stay Ahead of the Curve in an Increasingly Complex and Changing Environmental Regulatory Environment
Dear Colleagues,
The Canadian Institute is pleased to invite you to attend our conference on Environmental Law and Regulation in Alberta, to be held in Calgary, April 27-28th, 2010.
Alberta is fundamentally shifting the way in which environmental impacts on land, water and air are being managed, using cumulative effects management to achieve environmental objectives. Regional plans are currently being developed under the Land Use Framework, as are regulations under the Land Stewardship Act. Other significant regulatory developments are having immediate impacts on a variety of industries within Alberta – from oil and gas to food processing operations. Meanwhile, recent cases and decisions attest to the public’s increasing influence in the outcome of project approvals having environmental consequences, and sensitivities around Aboriginal consultation processes are becoming acute.
Don’t miss this key opportunity to learn the latest environmental legal and regulatory developments in Alberta and learn how to optimize operational and regulatory compliance. Our outstanding faculty of leading federal and provincial governmental representatives, lawyers, aboriginal representatives and industry experts will help you:
- OBTAIN practical examples of the impacts on industry of the cumulative effects management approach
- DETERMINE how a water allocation market will affect current water licences
- MANAGE residual liability uncertainty resulting from the new remediation certificates
- OVERCOME implementation challenges relating to Tailings Directive 74
- GAIN INSIGHT into new directions in environmental enforcement and creative sentencing
- INTEGRATE new requirements relating to public and aboriginal environmental consultation
- And much more!
PLUS! Add practical value to your attendance by joining our interactive post-conference workshop, “Using Carbon Trading and Offsets to Comply with Emissions Legislation: A Step-by-Step Guide to Doing a Carbon Trade and Obtaining Carbon Credits”.
I look forward to welcoming you to the conference in April!
Kindest regards,
