History
A\J has been in publication since 1971,[5] when it was established by Robert A. Paehlke. It was originally produced in Peterborough, Ontario at Trent University, when issues of the environment were just beginning to make their way into Canadian public consciousness. In 1984 the journal moved its home base to the University of Waterloo; it has since moved to The B-box Co-working Space, at 204a-283 Duke Street W.[3]
