Information Services
Through this, any person can contact the ELC and receive information on environmental law. As needed, referrals are made to law firms and environmental experts. This free service is supported by the Alberta Law Foundation and by the charitable donors to the Environmental Law Centre.
Fee for Service
The ELC is able to provide a variety of environmental and natural resources law services in education, research or seminars on a fee for service basis. Any work that is performed must further the goal of the ELC by contributing to the development of sound laws that will protect the environment.
