In partnership with Pro Bono Students Canada, U of T, Osgoode, and Queen’s law students work on files for Waterkeeper throughout the school year. Our Toronto students talk about their review of the way the Ontario government regulates (and sometimes fails to regulate) the nuclear industry. Our Queen’s students worked on a top secret project that we hope to be able to share with you very soon.
