Is a mine, pipeline, industrial plant or divided highway that will damage wildlife habitat being proposed in your municipality? Is an existing industry continuing to pollute the air or local waters while governments turn a blind eye? Is a local wetland proposed to be drained for farming or a subdivision?
As Nature Canada’s Emeritus Counsel, Stephen Hazell recently led a webinar on tools to help with just those challenges. Defending nature and species from industry and government policies is hard, but this webinar provides you with the tools that nature groups, Indigenous communities and citizens can use to get federal action to conserve and protect nature.
Key tools discussed include:
Petitions for federal reviews of development projects under the Impact Assessment Act
Petitions to the parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment and Sustainable Development
Applications to list toxic substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act
Judicial reviews of federal administrative decisions
Emergency orders under the Species at Risk Act
Petitions to the US-Canada-Mexico Commission for Environmental Cooperation for failure to enforce environmental laws
