About the event
The 60-day public comment period for the 2025 draft of the Canadian Organic Standards has begun! Understanding the standards and how proposed changes may affect your operation can be complex, that’s why Manitoba Organics, SaskOrganics, and Organic Alberta are teaming up to host a public Q&A session. You will be able to ask questions from each organization's executive directors, and have the ability to speak directly to the Standard Review's contributors.
