This is a listing of some enviro-relevant groups in Canada (though not all of them are focused solely on environmental issues). We’ve added more organizations to this listing over time.
Even for those of us who aren’t Canadian, it’s important to support stronger Canadian environmental and climate protection efforts. The U.S. and Canada should both be demonstrating environmental leadership. But both countries have had an uneven record of protecting the environment in recent years; for example, both have been building controversial and dangerous oil pipelines and cutting too many trees (including old growth forests and critical boreal forests). And now with the U.S. “Administration” abandoning and reversing many of its environmental policies and protections (as of 2025), its more important than ever that Canada take on a greater leadership role and work harder to protect its lands and resources.

Also, many international environmental organizations have a Canadian office or programs that include Canada. For example, ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability) has a Canadian office (and many Canadian cities and towns are members of ICLEI).
If you know of other environmental (or environmentally-relevant) groups in Canada, please mention them in the Comments. Thanks!
