We are a group of lawyers, students, and members of the public who believe in using the power of the law to protect the environment. We essentially strive to achieve the following with a focus on Saskatchewan:
- Raise awareness about environmental issues and laws;
- Build legal and advocacy skills; and
- Push for strong and effective environmental laws in the province.
- The Information Sharing Committee (ISC) strives to raise awareness and disseminate information to the public.
- The Advocacy and Skills-building Committee (AC) focuses on providing people the opportunity to develop legal- and advocacy-related skills, as well as the chance to campaign for strong and effective environmental laws.
