The province of British Columbia is making available a forum to understand new regulations for responding to hazards spills that came out in October 2017.

The B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy will present a one hour online meeting on May 4th, 2018 from 9:00am to 10:00am outlining proposed regulations to enhance spill preparedness and response with respect to land transportation of hazardous materials.

Ben Vander Steen, Manager of Planning and Preparedness, will facilitate the presentation. It will focus on four topics the Ministry is exploring: geographic response plans, response times, maximizing the marine application of environmental emergency regulatory powers and addressing loss of public use from spills.
