On June 24th, 2025, Partners in Project Green was joined by the Ontario Salt Pollution Coalition (OSPC), Landscape Ontario, and Pristine Property Maintenance to understand the role of government in regulating winter salt use for the safety of humans and the natural environment and how this policy gap has created liability issues for snow and ice management contractors.
