The Interface is an excellent forum for you to hear and network with the top regulators on the key issues and initiatives facing our industry sector today. Key government speakers from the Canadian and Ontario governments will talk about the issues, CCSPA members and colleagues will provide industry perspectives, and delegates will have the opportunity to pose questions directly to the people making the policies that impact their companies. When you leave this event, you will be completely up to date on the latest federal and Ontario government policies and programs that affect your company and you will know the key contacts within those departments.
