**Ship and Rail Compensation Canada** is Canada's dedicated resource for individuals affected by oil spills from maritime transport and major rail accidents involving crude oil. Established to provide equitable financial compensation, this organization operates the Ship Fund and the Rail Fund, both designed to support victims and responders through a robust claims process rooted in federal legislation.

With a commitment to justice, Ship and Rail Compensation Canada offers a user-friendly claims process that aims to eliminate the need for legal representation. It adheres to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring that all marginalized groups receive the support they need.

The Funds were created as a response to significant environmental and human disasters, ultimately reflecting Canada’s 'polluter pays' approach. The organization emphasizes transparency and accountability in its operations and decisions, managed by a team of experienced professionals independent of government influence. By fostering collaboration with Indigenous communities and public partners, the ship and rail compensation initiative plays a vital role in advancing reconciliation and safeguarding communities from the impacts of oil-related incidents.
