Our Mission

At the Environmental Law Centre we envision an Alberta where the environment is a priority. We see a society where environmental concerns guide our choices. We believe that if we make the right choices, future generations will enjoy a clean, healthy and diverse environment protected by strong, effective laws and Albertans will actively and meaningfully engage in environmental decision-making.

Our publications and critiques, web-based tools, and information services put crucial information in the hands of all Albertans who have the power to influence environmental change: community organizations, everyday citizens, corporations, lawyers and policy-makers. These groups turn to us for the information and resources they need to protect their interests.

Our plain language services make the complexity of law and environmental issues accessible for everyone. We speak and act on behalf of those who are unable to do so. Our work means that decision-making will be stronger and more equitable for Albertans.
