    This event has been cancelled in an effort to safeguard the health of our staff and stakeholders from COVID-19. This event will be replaced by a weekly webinar series, “Ask the Registrar.” 
  • “Ask the Registrar” weekly webinar series – April 1 to April 22
    This series will provide an online venue for stakeholders to engage RPRA’s Registrar, Pat Moran, and ask questions about the new Batteries Regulation, and for the Authority to present new information and any clarifications. Participants are encouraged to send their questions ahead of time to ensure the Registrar addresses them in the webinar series. Please send your questions to registry@rpra.ca.

RPRA also presented at a webinar hosted by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) on March 11 to explain how municipalities are specifically affected by the regulation.
