See why our customers choose us

Our project required a comprehensive approach, and the team at AEL Environment expertly guided us through Phase One and Phase Two Environmental Site Assessments, Remediation, and Risk Assessment, culminating in the acquisition of a Record of Site Condition from the MECP. Their team ensured that every aspect of our project was thoroughly assessed and addressed, and kept us informed at every step along the way. Their professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the process as they proficiently navigated us through complex regulatory protocols to achieve our goals. I highly recommended AEL Environment for anyone seeking environmental consulting services.

As a real estate investor in Southern Ontario, I routinely rely on environmental services offered by AEL, including Phase 1 and Phase 2 procedures. The AEL team has consistently provided professional services that are timely, cost-effective, and in my opinion, the gold standard of the industry. I have used AEL on several occasions and plan to continue to do so as we focus on building our property portfolio.

AEL worked with us to assess, remediate, and file RSCs for a number of our sites. They used innovative technology in efficient ways, reducing the cost and working within our time frames. Their team is technically strong, and also able to communicate well.

Upon the completion of our second project with AEL environment, they have once again provided exceptional and friendly service having quickly designed and delivered a customized remedial solution during an active dealership renovation that included underground structural upgrades. Charna and her team really took the time to understand our unique needs, delivering practical recommendations and effective results, streamlined with our construction schedule. Communications with all AEL team members was always quick, responsive, and easy to understand. The team is highly professional, reliable, and supportive making us feel like we are not just another “file number”. We highly recommend AEL to anyone seeking top quality environmental service and solutions and look forward to working with them again on our next project.

Vice President
Deerfield Developments


I was truly impressed working with the team at AEL Environment. Their in-depth experience working with automotive property transactions was evident from our first interaction.

My clients and I were pleasantly surprised to learn that property we were selling did not automatically require a Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment, despite the active auto repair shop on the site. AEL took the time to review the site’s background reports and ensured that everyone involved understood the site-specific details, including myself, the seller, and the purchaser’s broker and lender.

Their ability to efficiently communicate, and complete the Phase One ESA and letter of reliance expedited the property sale and saved everyone involved valuable time and resources.

AEL’s team helped us to manage environmental risk throughout a large infrastructure project in York Region. They focused on our specific goals and needs, and were very quick to respond to our requests. Their understanding of Ontario’s regulatory framework is exceptional.

Environmental Manager

As a lawyer practicing in the environmental area, I frequently deal with environmental consulting firms of various sizes and abilities. I was introduced to Paul Wilson and his team at AEL over a decade ago. I have consistently found AEL to be a cut above most  firms in terms of their skills as environmental professionals and their ability to solve scientific puzzles.

An example was a report by another company that found subsurface hydrocarbon contamination in a spot midway between a gas station and a former potato chip plant which had lots of vegetable oils in its history.  The report wasn’t prepared to say which was the source and the valuation of the site for the purposes of a potential transaction was affected. A few samples and analysis by AEL’s team found a definitive answer in no time, which was that our hydrocarbon residue was a food product and the deal closed with the higher valuation.
