Mission statement:	The Canadian Environmental Network (RCEN) facilitates networking between environmental organizations and others who share its mandate To Protect The Earth And Promote Ecologically Sound Ways Of Life. The RCEN is an independent, non-partisan organization. It does not take positions on environmental issues. Rather, the RCEN actively encourages and supports those who take part in public consultation processes, participate in working groups, or who are delegates to national and international conferences. More and more federal government departments favour the RCEN's delegate selection process because it is transparent, bilingual, and supported by the environmental community for its unparalleled and effective voice for reaching policy makers.
