At the federal and provincial level, there are funds that collect the money paid by offenders that are found to have violated federal or provincial environmental legislation. Federally, this is the Environmental Damages Fund (EDF) and provincially, this is the Ontario Community Environment Fund (OCEF).
Below are fact sheets that we made about the availability of funds at both the federal and provincial levels through the EDF and OCEF, respectively. Each fact sheet contains information about where funding comes from, eligible projects, who is eligible to apply, and how to apply for funding.
These fact sheets contain information about the EDF and OCEF and do not consist of legal advice.
The fact sheets are available below, and are also available on the Canadian Environmental Law Archive website; click here to open them in a new tab.
