The Canadian Gas Association is proud to present the 27th Annual Regulatory Course. The objective of the course is to develop a more complete and practical understanding of the Canadian natural gas regulatory framework. New for 2021 is a dedicated focus on regulatory modernization looking at case studies involving utility filings that position the industry in a low emission future. Case studies include hydrogen blending in Ontario and new rates for low use residential customers in Alberta. The course will be delivered in an adult learning format with pre-course reading materials provided to attendees in advance. Interactive participation will be encouraged by using an open format virtual platform.
