Ontario reviews dairy delivery rules to cut emissions, boost small dairies, with changes possible by late 2026.

Ontario is reviewing regulations for dairy delivery services to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and support small and mid-sized dairies. The province’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is leading a consultation process that includes proposed changes to delivery schedules, vehicle standards, and incentives for low-emission transport. Stakeholders can submit feedback until March 15, 2026, with final decisions pending input and compliance with environmental and labor standards. Implementation could begin by late 2026.
