Workshop: The Legal Toolkit October 27, 2015
Sustainability Network, Ecojustice and the Canadian Environmental Law Association Present:
The Legal Toolkit
Join us on Tuesday October 27th at the Sustainability Network offices in Toronto for this one-day training session. The workshop will be hosted by John Swaigen of Ecojustice who has designed the session to educate nonprofits active in the environmental field about the legal tools available to protect our air, water, land, and human health.
The workshop will help you to understand what laws and policies exist to protect the environment and how to use them effectively as well as the opportunities provided by law to participate in government decision-making. It will also help you to understand where the legal framework for environmental protection is absent, incomplete or otherwise inadequate so that you can work to obtain stronger laws and policies.
Participants will receive a nuts and bolts overview of the laws that protect our environment. We’ll have legal experts covering a wide variety of key topics including:
Robert Moyer, Director, Submissions on Enforcement Matters, Commission for Environmental Cooperation Secretariat; Hugh Benevides, Legal Officer, Commission for Environmental Cooperation Secretariat; and John Swaigen, Staff Lawyer, Ecojustice.
Joseph Castrilli, Staff Lawyer, Canadian Environmental Law Association.
Charles Hatt, Staff Lawyer, Ecojustice.
Ramani Nadarajah, Staff Lawyer, Canadian Environmental Law Association.
Richard Lindgren, Staff Lawyer, Canadian Environmental Law Association.
Ian Miron, Staff Lawyer, Ecojustice.
Laura Bowman, Staff Lawyer and Eastern Program Manager, Ecojustice.
Richard Lindgren, Staff Lawyer, Canadian Environmental Law Association.
Participants will also have an opportunity to engage in small group discussions to apply the day’s learnings to a fact situation in consultation with some participating lawyers.
