Taking Action for our Environment

Get Involved!

There's nothing like being of service and knowing that you have helped make the planet a better place to live. By contributing your talents, capabilities and time you can make a difference!

Thousands of Canadians are already volunteering with Environment Canada and its partners. They come from every walk of life and every region of the country and provide the environmental information necessary to support our scientists as they determine how and why ecosystems are changing.
