About East Coast Environmental Law

The East Coast Environmental Law Association is a registered Canadian charity that operates throughout Atlantic Canada. Our vision and mission reflect our desire for a future where the just application of innovative and effective environmental laws provide Atlantic Canadians with a clean, healthy environment.

• Respond to inquiries from the public about environmental law matters;
• Mentor law students on the role and value of law in the public interest;
• Publish open-access reports and summaries of environmental cases; and
• Collaborate with government, law firms, educational institutions and non-government organizations to enhance our understanding and make environmental law more effective.

East Coast Environmental Law is a growing non-profit where staff and board members work closely to meet and exceed our goals.
