About Us
As Canada’s largest environmental law charity our mission is using the law to defend nature, combat the climate crisis, and fight for a healthy environment for all. To achieve this, Ecojustice does three things:
We go to court- Our lawyers represent citizens, environmental organizations, First Nations, sustainable businesses, labour organizations, and any other groups that share our mission.
We push for better laws- Our experts testify in front of committees and make recommendations to strengthen environmental legislation.
