CFR Resources Amid COVID-19
In response to the COVID-19 situation, the CFR has compiled the following list of resources that may be useful to regulatory staff across government.
If you have a resource that you think would be helpful to others, we ask that you send it to the CFR at cfr-crf@canada.ca so that we may add it to the list. In the coming days and weeks, the CFR will be adding material to this list as it becomes available.

Compilation of Regulatory e-Learning
Are you looking to advance your skills and knowledge to broaden your regulatory experience and career prospects? The CFR has compiled a list of e-learning resources to help you! These e-courses have been organized and correlated to various aspects of the regulatory lifecycle. This will make it easy to identify the areas most relevant to your current experience and career aspirations.
This project began due to virtual learning needs amid COVID-19, however our goal is to continue to build on this compilation to help you meet your learning plan and professional development needs.
Please contact us at cfr-crf@canada.ca if you know of a free online course that would be helpful to fellow regulators.
Upcoming CFR Event
Regulatory Agility: Lessons from the UK – June 29, 2020
Join us on June 29 at 1 pm (EDT) for a live, interactive discussion on anticipatory regulations and regulatory sandboxes. The concept of anticipatory regulation is a new approach to regulatory practices that puts an emphasis on flexibility, collaboration and innovation.
Why is this important now?
Regulators need proactive and iterative approaches to respond to evolving pressures and environments. For example, the global pandemic we are experiencing has allowed for legislative flexibilities in some jurisdictions around the world to quickly test and improve services to the public.
Be prepared to interact with our expert panelists. Watch Nesta’s Harry Armstrong on the CFR Video Library to know more about the theoretical framework of anticipatory regulation or simply join in to hear their advice! Visit Eventbrite to learn more and register!
