Preventing Toxic Exposures Program Activities 2023

The report details CAPE's 2023 efforts to reduce toxic exposures in Canada, highlighting the passage of Bill S-5 to modernize the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and the launch of the Place-Based Power Project focusing on extraction impacts in Northern B.C., Alberta, and the Northwest Territories.

• CAPE contributed to the passage of Bill S-5, which updated the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) to include provisions for intergenerational equity, environmental justice, and the right to a healthy environment.
• The program launched the "Place-Based Power Project" in collaboration with the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition and Keepers of the Water to highlight health and justice issues related to tar sands tailing ponds in the Northwest Territories and Alberta, and fracking in Northern B.C.
• CAPE engaged in advocacy to ban the herbicide glyphosate, supporting a parliamentary petition that received more than 18,000 signatures.
