Understanding the New Canadian Organic Regime

As of June 30, 2009, the Organic Products Regulations will come into effect, making the new Canadian Organic Standards mandatory.

To help operators, organic inspectors and certification bodies get up to speed on the new rules, Canadian Organic Growers, the International Inspectors' Association and the Organic Trade Association in Canada are teaming up with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to offer in-depth training to facilitate a seamless transition and to ensure consistent application of the standards across the country.

The curriculum has been developed by experts involved in the development of Canada's organic standards and courses will be instructed by organic inspectors trained by the International Organic Inspectors' Association.
