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 push for better laws- Our experts testify in front of committees and make recommendations to strengthen environmental legislation.
We engage the public- Our work highlights environmental issues and changes the conversation, forcing our leaders to sit up and listen.
Our Mission is why people join Ecojustice. People who choose to join us recognize that this planet is our most treasured inheritance, and it is our imperative to be good stewards for the generations who follow us.
