overstated. With offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa and Toronto,
Ecojustice has represented citizens and community groups across the country
pro bono at all levels of court. Ecojustice has initiated law reform and
secured far reaching precedents in the areas of environmental assessments,
public consultations, the precautionary principle, endangered species,
critical habitat protection, the polluter pays principle and public health -
this is a legacy that benefits us all."
