[All] Fw: Enhancing Environmental Accountability under the EBR - Webinar Follow-Up

[Lanteigne]

 FYI
EBR is being updated. Public input needed. Details below.
The Ontario legislature no longer appoints an Environmental Commissioner nor does the ECO release their annual reports anymore which played a key roll in our local water sustainability education and outreach programs. 
I attended this meeting. It gave several interesting insights on what needs to be done to help strengthen the EBR system.
The Environmental Bill of Rights allows the public to give feedback on existing EBR requests and allows public review on policies as long as the policy has been in effect 5 years or longer. The EBR also allows concerned citizens of Ontario to submit requests for investigations regarding environmental infringements and to request new policy. 

Below is the link to the CELA online meeting that took place Nov. 2/2022.
