This month, we joined more than 50 groups in calling on the BC government to consider a law that would make it easier to sue companies like Exxon and Chevron for their share of BC’s climate costs.

Canada’s marine protected areas (MPAs) need standards that keep special areas of the ocean stress-free. Unfortunately, some MPAs still allow harmful activities within their boundaries – including
