The Environmental Damages Fund (EDF) is a specified purpose account administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), on behalf of the Government of Canada, to direct funds received from fines, penalties, court orders and voluntary payments to priority projects that will benefit Canada’s natural environment.
Through its support of these projects, the EDF helps to ensure environmental good follows environmental harm. ECCC collaborates with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Parks Canada, and Transport Canada to deliver the program.
These federal departments are responsible for the enforcement of legislation that may be used to direct funds to the EDF such as, the Fisheries Act, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994, and the Canada Shipping Act, 2001.
The primary goal of EDF-funded projects is to restore the environment and conserve wildlife and habitats in a scientifically sound, cost-effective, and technically feasible way. Available funding for an EDF CFA varies according to the number and size of court awards and voluntary contributions directed to the EDF.
For this CFA, funding is available to support projects that can take place anywhere in Canada (one fund), as well as projects taking place specifically in Northwest Territories, British Columbia, and Quebec. EDF will be hosting virtual general information sessions on the EDF and the CFA. English sessions will be held on Thursday November 6 from 14:30 to15:30 ET and Thursday November 13 from 13:00 to 14:00 ET.
