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.
FACILITATORS
We strive to follow a non-hierarchical, good faith, consensus-based organization. We acknowledge that power can come from places other than structure and so we remain diligent in trying to recognize imbalances where possible.
