Cumulative Effects Assessment Training
Cosponsored by the Canadian Environment Assessment Agency and Environment Canada.  Every assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act must include consideration of the cumulative environmental effects that are likely to result from the project undergoing assessment in combination with other projects or activities that have been or will be carried out. Cumulative effects must also be addressed as part of the project assessment in several provinces across Canada. The Canadian Environment Assessment Agency and Environment Canada are cosponsoring an ongoing two-day course, the Cumulative Effects Assessment Training to provide practical guidance to those involved in designing and conducting CEA and in using this information for project planning and decision-making. It focused on the assessment of cumulative biophysical effects and advances principles for CEA that are intended to be relevant across jurisdictions and to projects of varying size and complexity in different industry and development sectors.
