I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Friends of the Earth Canada (FOE) has grown from a small group of volunteers in 1978 to one of Canada's most important voices speaking out on environmental issues. We are affiliated with one of the largest international environmental networks -- Friends of the Earth International -- which has over 70 sister organizations around the world working for a healthy environment. Within the network, we pledge to be an efficient and effective environmental organization, democratically representing the interests of Canadians. Visit www.foecanada.org .
