The Centre for Environmental Justice Society was established to address the longstanding issue of environmental racism in the historic African Nova Scotian community of Shelburne. For decades, the community has been disproportionately burdened by environmental racism and injustice.
The Morvan Road landfill, operational for 75 years, was used to dispose of a wide range of hazardous waste, including household and medical waste, without adequate environmental safeguards. The resulting contamination has had significant negative impacts on the community's socio-economic health, biodiversity, environment, and quality of life.
The Centre for Environmental Justice (CEJ) is committed to community-led solutions for environmental justice. By prioritizing community health, well-being, and improve quality of life for impacted residents.
We strive to address the lasting impacts of environmental racism in historically marginalized communities. Our work focuses on advocating for remediation, reparations, and sustainable development to create a healthier future for all.
