There are 9 key environmental laws in Canada to ensure the protection and sustainable development of our vast natural resources. EnTec is committed to improving health outcomes by ensuring our natural environment is protected from the harmful effects of pollution.

Parks Canada Agency Act: Creates the Parks Canada Agency, which is responsible for the protection and presentation of Canada's national parks and historic sites.
