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 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.
John Swaigen will be joined by 8 other presenters:
- - Robert Moyer, Director, Submissions on Enforcement Matters, Commission for Environmental Cooperation Secretariat
- - Hugh Benevides, Legal Officer, Commission for Environmental Cooperation Secretariat
- - Joseph Castrilli, Staff Lawyer, Canadian Environmental Law Association

- - Ramani Nadarajah, Staff Lawyer, Canadian Environmental Law Association
- - Richard Lindgren, Staff Lawyer, Canadian Environmental Law Association
- - Ian Miron, Staff Lawyer, Ecojustice
