An Introduction to Canadian Environmental Law and Tools
This primer was prepared specifically for use in Waterkeeper’s Clean Water Workshop. It provides a brief introduction to environmental laws, such as the Fisheries Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, and tools such as judicial review. The primer provides a handy reference for anyone working on a number of environmental issues in Canada. Note: An updated version was released in October 2007.
