SUMMARY:The right to a healthy environment: Why now is Canada’s time to act
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a special Q&A session on how legal recognition of the right to a healthy environment can better protect the people and places we love.\nIn April, the federal government introduced a bill to modernize the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, a cornerstone law intended to protect our communities and our bodies from dangerous pollution and exposure to toxic chemicals. If passed, Bill C-28 would also become the first federal law to recognize your right to a healthy environment.\nBill C-28 is Canada’s opportunity to catch up to the 156 UN member states that have already recognized the legal right to a healthy environment in their constitutions, laws, court decisions or regional treaties.\nJoin moderator and Ecojustice lawyer Caitlin Urquhart for this timely discussion with Dr. David Boyd (UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and environment), Dr. Elaine MacDonald (Ecojustice’s healthy communities program director) and Dr. Jane McArthur (toxics campaign director at the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment).\nTogether, we’ll explore what the right to a healthy environment means, why enshrining this right in Canadian law is urgent and necessary, and how it can impact the day-to-day lives and health of people living in Canada.\n
