Take Action by July 20 th to Protect Fish Habitat!

The federal Fisheries Act, enacted almost 150 years ago, is one of the oldest pieces of environmental legislation in Canada. Until 2012, this legislation empowered the federal government to protect oceans, clean water and fish habitat.

Four years ago, the Harper government removed protections from 99% of the lakes and rivers in Canada. Harper gutted the laws that protect freshwater in Canada, including the Navigable Waters Protection Act, the Fisheries Act, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and more.

Tell the Trudeau government to stand up to Big Oil. Let’s protect every lake and every river! The federal government is asking for your input on its review of two key pieces of legislation by July 20, 2016.

Make your voice heard here: Protect Fish Habitat.
