THE LEGAL CLINIC

The Legal Clinic is a Community Legal Clinic funded by various sources including funds provided through The Law Foundation, Department of Justice (Canada) and Legal Aid Ontario. We provide a wide variety of legal services to low-income members of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, Northern Frontenac, and Northern Lennox and Addington Communities. A large part of our work involves assisting people in appealing denials of benefits including, but not limited to benefits from Ontario Works, Ontario Disability Support Program, and Canada Pension Plan Disability. We also provide legal assistance to tenants facing eviction and other legal issues related to their housing. We assist seniors with a variety of issues including drafting wills and powers of attorney. In 2016 we began providing legal services related to employment law issues including human rights in employment and assistance with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board claims and appeals.
