About

 Environmental Services

Thirty years in the making.  

PG Compliance Management is a small consultancy that is able to respond quickly to client needs.    


With roots at Ontario Research Foundation in the 80s and 90s and then as Vice President of the Emissions Reduction & Compliance Group at Pinchin Environmental Ltd. for over 20 years,  Phil Girard, P.Eng. has been providing consulting services and environmental impact solutions to businesses,  governments and various associations for over 35 years. 


With the legalization of cannabis in Canada, Phil is adapting his expertise in odour evaluation, community impact assessments, and odour mitigation to the cannabis sector.  PG Compliance is working with a number of Municipalities across Ontario  to help them develop and implement cannabis by-laws, develop community odour monitoring programs used to assess compliance,  peer review proponent odour studies, and train and calibrate by-law enforcement staff on the use of field olfactometers that measure odour impact (strength) in the community.  PG Compliance also works with Licensed Producers to develop/implement effective odour control technologies that will help mitigate community odour concerns and satisfy Health Canada requirements, and cannabis odour control technology suppliers to help them validate odour control efficiencies and optimize their products. 


Phil is currently working with municipalities in Pelham and the Niagara Region, Holland Marsh, north London, and  Huron.    


Air permits are required for most industries operating in Ontario and are granted to companies that can demonstrate that their environmental emissions meet provincial air and noise limits.  Phil has helped hundreds of clients over the past few decades secure provincial ECA and EASR approvals.
