Ontario's new regulation for On-Site and Excess Soil Management,

Regulation 406/19

​

In our last webinar, held on February 2nd, 2021, we looked at Ontario's new regulation for On-Site and Excess Soil Management, Regulation 406/19 (passed under Ontario's Environmental Protection Act), which came into force on January 1, 2021.  Intent to ensure that excavated soils are treated as resources to be beneficially re-used wherever possible, the regulatory requirements are very different from what has come before.  The new provisions are detailed, complicated and are being phased in over the next 5 years.  In this free webinar,  we were joined by head of EXP's Risk Assessment and Markham Environmental Team, Ruxandra Côté who is well versed in the Regulation to overview the application of this legislation for owners, developers and all parties down the construction ladder.   

​

 The webinar proved very successful, attracting  over 200 attendees.  For those who missed it we have made it available for viewing below, along with our presentations available for download.

COVID-19 and the Construction Industry 

With COVID-19 upon us, we felt the need to provide our clients and construction industry participants with free webinars to help all better manage their risks, including those associated with delay, frustration, force majeure, claims, changes in the work, notice, schedule extensions, suspension of work, termination of contract and dispute resolution, as well as (with the help of our friends at Sherrard Kuzz LLP), OHSA, labour and employment issues including best site practices, work refusals, lay-offs and termination. 

​

 The webinars proved very successful, attracting well over 500 attendees on first session and a minimum of 100 attendees for each subsequent session.  Given the response and demand we have made video recordings of select sessions, along with our presentations available for download below.
