This timely webinar by Risk Management Counsel of Canada explores the expanding landscape of PFAS-related litigation in Canada and its implications for insurers. With certified class actions already advancing and billion-dollar settlements south of the border, Canadian claims professionals must prepare for the wave of claims that may follow.

Key topics covered include:

• The current state of PFAS litigation in Ontario, BC, and Alberta
• What U.S. class actions signal for Canadian claims trends
• The interplay of PFAS liability with CGL, EIL, and D&O policies
• How pollution exclusions are being interpreted across jurisdictions
• The potential for regulatory penalties and personal liability for directors and officers

Presenters:

• Brian Murnaghan, CBM Lawyers, Edmonton
• Vagmi Patel, Blaney McMurtry LLP, Toronto
• Wendy Serné, Northpoint Legal, Vancouver

Why watch?

The regulatory and legal response to PFAS contamination is accelerating. Courts are testing pollution exclusions and expanding potential liabilities—sometimes retroactively. For insurers, the risk isn’t just environmental—it’s financial, reputational, and increasingly personal, especially for directors and officers.
