Don't miss out and register now for our complimentary Willms & Shier Environmental Lawyers Webinar Series!

Our fifth webinar of the year is titled: PFAS in Canada: A Legal Perspective on the “Forever Chemicals” – Laws, Guidelines, and Practical Considerations. The webinar will take place on Wednesday, May 17, 2023 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm via Zoom.

Federal, provincial and territorial governments across Canada are considering how to address per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Canada and our provinces and territories now realize the potential toxicity and persistence of PFAS in the environment, but struggle to find ways to regulate and address PFAS, due to complexities involved in detecting, managing and remediating PFAS.

Jacquelyn Stevens, Matthew Gardner, and Joanna Vince will:

• provide a cross-country review of measures the federal, provincial and territorial governments are taking to address PFAS in the environment
• consider whether and how PFAS are being addressed in environmental investigations, clean ups, and land transactions, and
• provide considerations for environmental consultants and their clients when dealing with PFAS.
