Provision Members,

As the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change continues to prepare for the first Carbon Cap and Trade auction to be held in March 2017, it is providing stakeholders training and the opportunities to participate in a practice auction to be held in January 2017.  Provision received an invitation to participate in the training sessions on auction procedures and Ontario's web-based auction and sale platform (the Auction Platform). If interested in attending, the details of these sessions and steps on how to register are below.
