CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999

Notice with respect to the availability of environmental occurrences notification agreements

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to subsection 9(2) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), that the Minister of the Environment has negotiated an environmental occurrences notification agreement with the governments of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Yukon.

The purpose of these notification agreements is to establish a streamlined notification system and reduce duplication of efforts for persons required to notify federal and provincial/territorial governments of an environmental emergency or environmental occurrence, such as an oil or chemical release. Under these notification agreements, 24-hour authorities operating for the provinces and territories receive emergency or occurrence notifications and transfer this information to Environment and Climate Change Canada, which is essential for the timely and effective oversight of any response that may be warranted. For more information about the notification agreements, please visit the Environmental occurrences notification agreements website.

The proposed notification agreements listed below are available as of Saturday, October 18, 2025, for a 60-day public consultation. Interested persons requiring copies of the proposed agreements may request them via email at UrgencesEnvironnementales-EnvironmentalEmergencies@ec.gc.ca:

All comments and notices of objection with respect to the proposed notification agreements must cite the Canada Gazette, Part I, as well as the date of publication of this notice. Responses to this notice must be submitted to the Minister of the Environment, to the attention of the Environmental Emergencies Division, Environment and Climate Change Canada by mail at 351 Boulevard Saint-Joseph, Gatineau, Quebec J8Y 3Z5, or by email at UrgencesEnvironnementales-EnvironmentalEmergencies@ec.gc.ca.

Pursuant to section 313 of CEPA, any person who provides information in response to this notice may submit, with the information, a written request that the information or part of it be treated as confidential.
