The Standard – October 2017

Episode 1

This is “The Standard”, a newsletter produced by the ECTA for our members, the industry at large and the general public to keep them abreast of recent events and happenings within our organization and vaping in Canada. It has a little bit for everyone, from smoker (potential vapers) to experienced vapers to new businesses to long established businesses to the general and non-smoking public. The goal is to distribute information. There are no secrets here…

A lot has happened since our last issue was released. Because of that, we’ve been very busy trying to tackle different things as they occurred.

Special points of interest in this issue:

Apology for the delayed release
Request for consultation on proposed regulations
Notice to Industry from Health Canada RE: Upon Royal Assent of Bill S-5
ECTA meeting with the Tobacco Control Directorate and discusses the notice to industry
John and Charlene abandon us for baby fever

We’ve decided to try something a bit different with the newsletter this time by presenting it in Video format. Depending on how things go, we may continue to provide these updates in video format. Please provide your feedback in the commends below the article.
