PAAC is pleased to present a breakfast conversation on November 29th with Chris Ballard, Ontario’s Minister of the Environment and Climate Change. Minister Ballard was appointed to this position on July 31, 2017. With the challenge of implementing a number of key policies, including those under the Climate Change Action Plan and the Ontario Waste-Free Ontario Act. These actions cover a variety of policy areas across government, which adds further complexity to his role.

Key to the implementation of these policies will be communicating, both inside and outside government, the ministry’s objective and overarching motivation of the policies: to mitigate the impacts of climate change to our environment and economy.

Please join us as we discuss these important and timely topics with Minister Ballard, and get his insight as to how he intends to address these complex challenges.

We would like to thank the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (CIAC) for their generous sponsorship in support of this event.
