Prince Edward Island – Eco-Net – de l’Ile-du-Prince-Edouard

The Prince Edward Island Eco-Net de l’Ile-du-Prince-Edouard (PEIEN) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental network of groups on Prince Edward Island who care about our environment. The organization was orginally formed in 1991 and was formally incorporated as a co-operative in 2000. The PEIEN is non-advocacy and thus does not take stands on particular issues. Instead, we try to help our member groups with the work they do through the sharing of information and provision of administrative and technical support. We are affiliated with 12 other Environmental Networks: a Network in each province, one in the Northern Territories, a First Nations Environmental Network, and a network of groups with a national focus such as the Sierra Club of Canada. We all come together under the Canadian Environmental Network (CEN), based in Ottawa, which coordinates the activities of 16 national Caucuses concerned with specific areas of interest.
