New Reporting: ECCC Single Window Information Manager (SWIM)

The 2019 E2 Regulations came into force on August 24th. To coincide with the new regulations, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) launched SWIM, a new online system to manage regulatory reporting. SWIM will allow regulatees to maintain their own information and report under multiple regulations through a single tool: https://ec.ss.ec.gc.ca/

Due to the scope of change in the new regulations, and incompatibilities between system platforms, all those subject to the new regulations will need to re-register their information in SWIM. Once re-registered, a new reporting timeline will be in effect. Additional details are available atE2 Regulations, 2019” and “How to report using SWIM”.
