Public Legal Education is an essential component of social justice.
We regularly offer legal education sessions on a variety of topics including tenants' rights, Wills, Estates and Power of Attorney, Criminal Injuries Compensation and Employment Law that are tailored to meet your group's needs. WRCLS participates in law reform activities and community development activities.

About Us

Consumer Protection
Report
When someone lets you pay for something later, instead of before or at the time you buy or rent it, this is called giving you credit or "extending" credit to you. A credit report is a detailed list of your credit and bill paying history, and other information about you. In Ontario, the law calls them "consumer reports".
Commissioning And Notarization
Report
Our clinic can help you if you need to have a document commissioned, if you need a notary to witness your signature on a document, or make certified true copies of documents. We can also assist with drafting declarations for various topics. You must be financially eligible for this service. Please contact us to make an appointment for commissioning or notary services.
CPP Disability
Report
Canada Pension Plan pays benefits to those who have paid into the Plan while working in Canada and then become "eligible" as a result of a disability. Our clinic offers full services from applying for CPP-D benefits all the way up to representation before the Social Security Tribunal. We invite you to join us in discussing the recent changes to Ontario's housing laws.
