ONEIA’s annual environment Industry Day at the Ontario Legislature at
Queen’s Park on October 20 was well-received, with many attendees
calling it the Association’s “best yet.” Attendees heard from an
afternoon environmental policy pundits panel that offered their
observations on the priorities and context of the legislature, and then
attended an evening reception at the Legislative dining room that was
co-hosted by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, the Hon.
Glen Murray.
Murray
offered a sobering assessment of the climate challenges facing the
world, but noted that the province’s environment industry is
well-positioned to develop the technologies and adaptation strategies
that the world needs to meet this challenge.
The
reception also saw Ellen McGregor, CEO and President of Fielding
Chemical Technologies, receive the annual Errick Skip Willis Award for
outstanding leadership and a track record for raising awareness of and
creating action to enable the environmental industry sector in Ontario.
