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.

Expert: SARA LIPSON
MSC, SENIOR REGULATORY ANALYST, NIMONIK

Sara entered the environmental field with a Master’s in biochemistry and a certificate in environmental control, and has built on that education with over ten years of experience in developing audit protocols and providing updates based on Canadian and American environmental and health and safety legislation. At Nimonik, a Montreal-based company offering global solutions for EHS legal information, Sara manages a team of regulatory and environmental specialists to ensure that Nimonik’s legislation-based content keeps pace with constant changes in the legal environment. Sara has helped clients familiar with Canadian legislation understand the American regulatory environment, and vice versa. She is always eager to explain how Canada is not the fifty-first state from a regulatory standpoint, and is passionate about her work because she knows that everyone benefits when companies understand their legal obligations.

  • Understand the relative powers of different levels of government to regulate the environment in Canada and the United States.

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.
