<div class="maincontent_inside"> <p>Alex is a lawyer and partner in Gowling WLG’s Toronto-based Environmental Law Group, with expertise in the areas of environmental law, renewable energy, land use planning, and development law. For the past decade she has advised corporate, municipal, and Indigenous clients, providing both strategic regulatory advice and representation. Alex is also co-head of the firm’s BioEnergy Group, and involved in the development of biogas, renewable natural gas (RNG), and biofuel projects in Ontario and across Canada. Alex delivers practical legal and regulatory advice on a wide array of complex matters, including: environmental and energy permitting and approvals; waste and wastewater management; and environmental management and compliance, including regulatory inspections, investigations and enforcement.<br /> <br /> Alex has long held a personal and professional passion for Canadian biogas and RNG. As a long-time environmental and energy law lawyer she is well-suited to assist the CBA with its ongoing engagement with all levels of Canadian government (federal, provincial, and municipal) to shape biogas and RNG policies and programs. She brings her legal perspective and extensive policy and regulatory experience to the Board. Alex also spent much of her childhood on a farm in the Township of East Garafraxa, in Dufferin County, Ontario and, as a result, has long harboured a particular interest in issues related to food and agriculture.</p> </div>  </div>  <div class="sidebar"> <div class="cover_boardmember"> <img src="https://biogasassociation.ca/images/uploads/documents/2022/board_of_directors/Alex-Sadvari-GowlingPhoto.jpg" alt="Portrait of " class="floatRight" width="225" height="300" /> </div>     </div>  </div>   <footer>  <div class="grid-footer-top"> <p class="txt-font-size-700 txt-uppercase txt-bold">Contact Us</p> </div> <div class="grid-footer-bottom"> <div class="grid-footer-left"> <p>Canadian Biogas Association<br /> 222 Queen Street, Suite 1000<br /> Ottawa, Ontario, Canada<br /> K1P 5V9</p>   <p>© 2024 CBA - <a href="https://biogasassociation.ca/privacy/" class="txt-col-white">Privacy </a></p> </div> <div class="grid-footer-right"> <p>Email:<br /> <span class="txt-col-white"><strong><span data-eeEncEmail_AunmBVTEBb='1'>.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)</span><script>/*<![CDATA[*/var out = '',el = document.getElementsByTagName('span'),l = ['>','a','/','<',' 97',' 99',' 46',' 110',' 111',' 105',' 116',' 97',' 105',' 99',' 111',' 115',' 115',' 97',' 115',' 97',' 103',' 111',' 105',' 98',' 64',' 110',' 101',' 101',' 114',' 103',' 106','>','\"',' 97',' 99',' 46',' 110',' 111',' 105',' 116',' 97',' 105',' 99',' 111',' 115',' 115',' 97',' 115',' 97',' 103',' 111',' 105',' 98',' 64',' 110',' 101',' 101',' 114',' 103',' 106',':','o','t','l','i','a','m','\"','=','f','e','r','h','a ','<'],i = l.length,j = el.length;while (--i >= 0)out += decodeURIComponent(l[i].replace(/^\s\s*/, '&#'));while (--j >= 0)if (el[j].getAttribute('data-eeEncEmail_AunmBVTEBb'))el[j].innerHTML = out;/*]]>*/</script></strong><br />  <br /> Telephone:<br /> <strong>(613) 822-1004</strong></p> </div> </div>  </footer>  </div>   <script src="https://biogasassociation.ca/scripts_2022/audiojs/audio.min.js"></script> <script> audiojs.events.ready(function () { var as = audiojs.createAll(); }); </script>  <script src="https://biogasassociation.ca/scripts_2022/aria_dropdown.js"></script> <script src="https://biogasassociation.ca/scripts_2022/van11y-accessible-accordion-aria.min.js"></script> <script> var other_accordion = van11yAccessibleAccordionAria({ ACCORDION_PREFIX_IDS: 'peekaboo_', ACCORDION_JS: 'js-accordion2' }); other_accordion.attach(); </script> <script src="https://biogasassociation.ca/scripts_2022/van11y-accessible-hide-show-aria.min.js"></script> <script> var other_expand = van11yAccessibleHideShowAria({ HIDESHOW_EXPAND: 'js-expandmore2', DATA_PREFIX_CLASS: 'data-hideshow-prefix-class2' }); other_expand.attach(); </script> <script src="https://biogasassociation.ca/scripts_2022/van11y-accessible-modal-window-aria.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" id="cookieinfo" src="//cookieinfoscript.com/js/cookieinfo.min.js" data-bg="#ffffff" data-fg="#0064A7" data-link="#0064A7" data-cookie="cba_biogas" data-text-align="left" data-close-text="Accept" data-message="We use cookies to enhance your experience.
