In 2009 the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) approved the Canada-Wide Action Plan for Extended Producer Responsibility (CAP EPR). CAP EPR recognized that the three territorial jurisdictions faced significant implementation challenges due to “unique circumstances of geography, population and infrastructure” and recognized that the remote regions of the provinces faced implementation challenges similar to those of the territories. Following on CCME’s 2014 Progress Report on CAP EPR, CCME launched a project aimed at “identifying opportunities and sharing best practices for implementing EPR in northern and remote regions.” To this end, CCME convened a workshop in spring 2015 with producer responsibility organizations (PROs) and stewardship organizations to consider ways of advancing EPR and stewardship in the territories and remote parts of the provinces. In preparation for the workshop, CCME engaged sonnevera international corp. to compile a baseline information report on materials flows and waste management systems for specified product categories (electronics, tires, lubricating oil, paint, consumer batteries, aerosols, and fluorescent lights) in the regions of interest. The three northern territories (Yukon (YT), Northwest Territories (NT), Nunavut (NU)) are the primary focus of the study, with a secondary focus on “remote regions” in northern parts of British Columbia (BC), Alberta (AB), Saskatchewan (SK), Manitoba (MB), Ontario (ON), Québec (QC), and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL).
