Canada - Wide Standards - Manitoba

Under the Canada-Wide Environmental Standards Sub-Agreement, the federal, provincial and territorial Environment Ministers (except for Quebec) have agreed to work together to develop appropriate Canada-wide standards for environmental contaminants or issues of national concern. Since 1998, Manitoba has been involved in this Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME)-led initiative to develop and implement Canada-wide Standards for a selected group of pollutants which includes particulate matter, ozone, mercury, dioxins and furans, petroleum hydrocarbons in soil, and benzene.

Information on each of the standards that has been developed and Manitoba’s implementation plans is provided below along with a link to the standard on the CCME web site. More information on the Canada-wide Standards is also available on the CCME web site at http://www.ccme.ca/initiatives/standards.html
