Meet the Regulator – Exclusive One-on-One Meetings
New for Canadian Waterpower Week, the “Meet the Regulator” program offers attendees a unique opportunity to engage directly with key Canadian regulatory agencies including the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).
This initiative provides 20-minute, pre-scheduled meetings where participants can seek guidance, ask questions, and gain valuable insights on regulatory processes, project approvals, environmental assessments, and compliance requirements.
Whether you’re navigating permitting challenges, looking for clarity on policy updates, or simply seeking to establish connections, these one-on-one meetings offer a focused, productive dialogue with the regulators shaping the future of Canadian waterpower.
Applications will open in 2026 — subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know when submissions begin!
