Policy Letter: MbEN fights for federal-level legal reforms to ensure access to environmental justice

MbEN fights for federal-level legal reforms to ensure access to environmental justice

As part of our Healthy Environment Healthy Neighbourhood (HEHN) project, Manitoba Eco-Network has been engaging with the parliamentary process for Bill S-5 and Bill C-226. The residents who are participating in our HEHN project have no legal recourse to protect themselves from the toxic contamination from nearby industrial scrap metal operations. We are advocating strongly for federal reforms that enshrine a right to a healthy environment and meaningful avenues for access to environmental justice.
