Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) is a government organization responsible for evaluating the environmental impacts of proposed projects in Canada. Its main role is to ensure that potential effects on the environment, including air, water, and wildlife, are thoroughly assessed before projects, like construction or resource development, can proceed. The CEAA engages with the public, Indigenous communities, and stakeholders to gather input and ensure that decision-makers have the necessary information to balance development with environmental protection. This process supports sustainable development and helps safeguard Canada’s natural heritage for future generations.
