On Wednesday, October 23rd, join us for a free public workshop on coastal law and policy at the Prince Edward Island Farm Centre in Charlottetown.

Since 2015, East Coast Environmental Law has been assessing and reporting on provincial protections for species at risk in Atlantic Canada. More specifically, we’ve been evaluating how provincial governments in Atlantic Canada are performing under their own laws designed to protect species at risk.

This spring, Bill C-49 passed third reading in the House of Commons and moved to the Senate. After passing second reading by the Senate in early June, the Bill was given to the Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources for detailed consideration.

World Oceans Day is this Saturday, June 8th. In celebration, we're putting a spotlight on ocean conservation and our ocean-related work and resources.

Join the East Coast Environmental Law team for an engaging evening of presentations, conversation, and learning about global and local movements to win legal rights to a healthy environment.

In May 2023, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources tabled Bill C-49 in the House of Commons. The Bill is a proposed statute that would introduce new federal-provincial regimes for regulating renewable energy projects in the offshore areas of Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia. East Coast Environmental Law has been engaging actively in the federal government’s consideration of Bill C-49.

The East Coast Environmental Law team worked hard in 2023 to provide public legal education, advance environmental law reform, and offer community support throughout Atlantic Canada.

As our staff prepare to close their home offices until the new year, we'd like to take a moment to thank you for your support in 2023 and wish you a safe and happy holiday season.
