National Expansion of the Innovative Industry-led Electrified Vehicle (EV) Battery Recovery Program Français
TORONTO, June 26, 2025 /CNW/ - Following the successful rollout of North America's first-of-its-kind Electrified Vehicle (EV) Battery Recovery Program in Québec, the industry-led initiative EVBatteryRecovery.ca is expanding across Canada. This national rollout marks a significant milestone in the responsible management of end-of-life EV batteries, designed to collect, transport, repurpose, remanufacture, or recycle eligible end-of-life EV batteries from hybrid, plug-in hybrid, all-electric, and fuel cell vehicles outside of existing manufacturer-led recovery programs.
The proactive industry-driven expansion reinforces the commitment of participating vehicle manufacturers to collect and responsibly manage the end of life of their products, ensuring environmental sustainability and contributing to the circular economy.
The EV Battery Recovery Program was initially launched in June 2023 in Québec as a collaborative effort to deliver on a commitment to Québec by vehicle manufacturers. Vehicle manufacturers worked with Call2Recycle Canada, leveraging the organization's 28-year extensive expertise in end-of-life battery management across diverse formats and sectors, to develop and launch the EVBatteryRecovery.ca platform. The EV Battery Recovery Program complements existing market driven resource recovery to ensure eligible EV batteries at risk of not being recycled or reused at end-of-life are responsibly managed and recovered. With the national expansion, EVBatteryRecovery.ca will now be accessible to battery-holder groups and stakeholders across the country, providing a streamlined process for responsible EV battery management in Canada. The program supports the sustainable handling of EV batteries, reducing environmental impact and advancing the circular economy by recovering and reusing valuable battery materials.
The national expansion will provide:
Increased accessibility to responsible EV battery management options for eligible EV battery holders, outside of the participating, established vehicle manufacturers' management programs.
A common efficient national approach to EV battery management, a first in North America.
Further support for developing a sustainable EV battery management ecosystem in Canada.
Improved data and information on EV battery end-of-life trends, to inform future sustainability initiatives.
Increased dialogue between vehicle manufacturers, industry participants, and stakeholders, including provincial and territorial governments.
The national expansion of the EV Battery Recovery Program builds upon existing manufacturer-led programs that manage EV batteries under warranty, subject to recall, or returned through dealer networks. By extending the coverage across the country, the program ensures that eligible EV batteries are responsibly managed, and the valuable resources are recovered, preventing improper disposal and supporting environmental goals.

CFIB statement on Canada Post workers rejecting final offer
TORONTO, Aug. 1, 2025 /CNW/ - It's extremely disappointing that the members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have rejected Canada Post's final offer. This just brings more uncertainty at a time when small businesses are already struggling to plan ahead. We can't keep doing this. If there's another strike, two in three businesses may walk away from Canada Post permanently. We're calling on government to prevent another strike from happening by extending the current collective bargaining agreement for the foreseeable future. Government also needs to immediately give Canada Post the full authority to make the major reforms needed to ensure it is financially sustainable. This will likely require tough decisions, including back-to-work legislation orders. CFIB is calling on all political parties to support the reforms suggested in the Industrial Inquiry report to allow this important service to continue for the long term. - Dan Kelly, President, CFIB About CFIB The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is Canada's largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 100,000 members across every industry and region.
