The Canadian Environmental Law Foundation (formerly the Resource Library for the Environment and the Law) is the charitable arm of Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA).

Founded in 1970, CELA is one of the oldest public interest litigation clinics in Canada. The Foundation was established in 1993 and supports CELA’s research and education work on environmental law and justice issues.

A key initiative of the Foundation is the Canadian Environmental Law Collections, an extensive library of online and printed resources that document Canada’s environmental law and policy history. The Foundation also supports ongoing education and outreach efforts to promote public participation in environmental decision-making. An important education initiative of the Foundation is support for CELA’s articling student program, training the next generation of environmental advocates.

Your tax-creditable donation to the Canadian Environmental Law Foundation will ensure that CELA can continue to provide research and educational support for advancing justice for low-income and vulnerable communities who are adversely – and disproportionately – affected by environmental issues.
