Ontario Tire Stewardship is holding a Consultation session for Tire Stewards on August 9th, 2012 from 8:30am – 11:30 am at the Toronto Airport Marriott. Stewards will be able to attend in person or join by webinar and teleconference.
This Consultation session will address:
On February 9th, 2012 the Ontario Minister of the Environment issued direction to Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) to work with the Industry Funding Organizations (IFOs), including OTS, to revise their current revenue models to ensure full program cost recovery, and to develop plans to address any accumulated debt and/or surplus. Since this time OTS has been engaged with WDO, and discussions have been on-going with the Ministry of the Environment, to determine the model which would meet the Minister’s direction while preserving the predictability, transparency and flexibility Stewards expect from the program.
OTS is encouraging all Stewards to participate, as the feedback collected during this Consultation session will be used in setting the direction for the program going forward
As space is limited for in-person attendance all stakeholders are requested to register with OTS by August 7th, 2012. In-person attendance will be on a first-response, first confirmed basis, all others may attend through the webinar. Details for how to join the consultation remotely will be sent out to confirmed attendees prior to the consultation.
