Background

The program for Phase 1 MHSW was launched on July 1, 2008. The Minister’s letter to Waste Diversion Ontario dated July 22, 2008, requested amendments to the Phase 1 program and development of a Phase 2 and Phase 3 program. This revised and consolidated program plan is due to the Minister on July 31st, 2009. Stewardship Ontario hosted the first workshop/webcast in this series on October 28, 2008 and the second on March 4, 2009. This third and final workshop will complete this consultation process in fulfillment of requirements laid out by Waste Diversion Ontario.
