Canadians want strong environmental laws to protect our communities, ecosystems, health, and economy.
This site is a gathering, resource, and action centre for organizations and individuals who want to ensure that Canada works towards enacting and enforcing strong environmental laws.
Our focus starts with environmental assessment, which, because it assesses the potential impacts of proposed projects and plans before harm is done, is an essential tool to maintain a healthy, secure and sustainable Canada.
