Founded in 1970, CELA is one of the oldest environmental advocates for environmental protection in the country. With funding from Legal Aid Ontario, CELA provides free legal services relating to environmental justice in Ontario, including representing qualifying low-income and vulnerable or disadvantaged communities in litigation. CELA also works on environmental legal education and reform initiatives.
CELA urges Ontario municipalities to completely remove toxic lead pipes from their drinking water systems.
The CELA Foundation is the charitable arm of Canadian Environmental Law Association. The Foundation was established in 1993 and supports CELA’s research and education work on environmental law and justice issues.
The climate crisis is also a public health and equity crisis. Maximum temperature bylaws are key to protecting people from the health hazards of extreme heat.
