Who we serve
Report
Legal clinics assist people who have low income. To be eligible for brief services or representation, your income and assets cannot exceed a certain amount, depending on the size of your family. When you contact us we will ask you for information about your financial and family situation. If your income is too high our ability to assist you may be limited to providing advice or a referral to somewhere else, depending on the situation.

Report
Legal Clinic champions Petition to make the Canada Child Benefit available to all children living in Canada. The petition was presented in the House of Commons today by MP Dong, who notes that, No child should have to live in poverty. That's why I'm proud to support WCLS and their desire to ensure all children residing in Canada receive equal access to the CCB.
