Online

By Sustainability Network

50 participant max

In June 2025, Bill C-5 received royal assent and the Building Canada Act was enacted. In this 2-hour workshop, presenters will interactively involve participants in discussing strategic legal considerations for campaigns aimed at implementation of the Building Canada Act. There will also be regionally relevant discussions, including BC’s Bill 15 (Infrastructure Projects Act) and Ontario's Bill 5 (Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025).

This workshop is designed for staff or volunteers with environmental NGOs who are working on Bill C-5 implementation, or anyone seeking to become engaged regarding the new Building Canada Act and associated projects of national interest.

Presenters:

Anastasia Lintner is Co-founder and COO of Backloop Institute. She is a passionate public policy advocate, who received a PhD in natural resource and environmental economics from University of Guelph and an LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School. Anastasia is currently a non-practicing lawyer, with over two decades of extensive policy research and writing experience, including with respect to environmental assessment, conservation and water law, and Ontario's Environmental Bill of Rights. The highlight of her former legal career was the opportunity to combine economic and legal arguments for the Supreme Court of Canada in two cases: one involving the valuation of sensitive environmental lands and the other involving the intersection of insolvency protection and environmental clean-up obligations.

Ken Boessenkool on How to Talk to Conservatives About Climate

Online

By Sustainability Network

*All registrants will be provided with a link to the recording following the session. The recording will be available for 60 days.

Canada has unprecedented economic and technological opportunities as the world moves to Net Zero. A stable, credible, long-term Net Zero climate plan today will open the door to these opportunities tomorrow. All of the tools necessary to reach our climate, energy, and economic goals – such as pricing industrial emissions, exporting cleaner energy, smart regulations, and Canadian ingenuity – should be part of the toolkit to create that plan.

Canadian Conservatives have been moving towards a credible climate plan, but only when they form governments. Harper did the coal phase-out, arguably the biggest thing we’ve done on climate to date. Alberta and Ontario have industrial pricing schemes that fund other green initiatives. So how do you talk to Conservatives about climate? Tune in to find out from someone who founded Conservatives for Clean Growth and has advised Preston Manning, Ralph Klein, Stephen Harper, Christy Clark among other Canadian Conservative leaders.

Dissecting Budget 2025 and What It Means for the Build, Climate, Nature and Env. Agenda of Canada’s New Government

Online

By Sustainability Network

More than 6 months into the mandate of the Carney government there are conflicting signals about the kind of environmental policy agenda that the two-time central banker and global climate advisor who has championed transition finance - would actually lead.

But as the saying goes - show me how you spend your money and I’ll show you your values.

On the heels of the federal budget coming in early November, Tyler Meredith, one of Canada’s foremost fiscal policy experts and a key thought leader in the Liberal Party of Canada will help decode what all this means.
