FAQ
What is the difference between the Fall CANECT Essentials and the 2023 Spring CANECT Conference?
The CANECT Environmental Compliance and Due Diligence Essentials Conference is a learning opportunity for those who were unable to attend the Spring CANECT 2023 conference this past May.
Much of the course content for the November 14 Environmental Regulation & Compliance Essentials course is the same as the Spring event. If you have more questions, or want to learn more about what was covered in May, it would be good to attend.
