Continuous Intake
The REOI process for 2020 has changed. It will no longer follow a specific schedule of inquiry and submission deadlines. Instead, the CIF will consider new project proposals throughout the year on a continuous intake basis, and first-come-first-served within the identified budget envelope. This approach will expedite project approvals while allowing for more flexibility to respond to any required change in operations resulting from transition.
Note, that continuous intake does not apply to Waste Composition Studies. Applications to participate in these studies must be submitted by June 26,
2020.
Timelines
The timeframe over which CIF projects can be completed will be affected by the wind up of the current Blue Box program and transition to an IPR framework. CIF staff recommend that those interested in applying do so as soon as possible to allow for sufficient time for the approval process and to carry out their project if approved.
