Resource Library for the Environment and the Law

The Resource Library for the Environment and the Law was established in 1993 as a not-for-profit charitable organization. It is housed in the offices of the Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA) at 130 Spadina Avenue, Suite 301, in Toronto, Ontario Canada. Please call 416-960-2284 to book an appointment to visit the library; ask for either Sarah Miller or Leah Harms, MLS. We offer reference and photocopying services. Please note, however, that this is a non-circulating library and that materials cannot be taken out.

CELA has built this collection since 1970. It currently contains approximately 15,000 essential publications on environmental law and policy in Ontario and Canada, as well as some international materials. This assemblage of resources is unique. Many of these publications and government documents can be found nowhere else. The collection comprises books, periodicals, reports and more, from 1970--when the Canadian Environmental Movement began--to the present. Legal Aid Ontario has provided funding for this collection. It is intended to assist CELA staff, the public, and the environmental and legal communities to access information and tools to further environmental justice.
