What is the Legal Advice Clinic?

Provided in partnership with Calgary Legal Guidance, our Legal Advice clinics provide newcomers with advice on legal matters from highly qualified professional volunteer lawyers. Legal clinics are free of charge and offer personal consultation services on family and immigration issues to low-income clients.

Legal clinics are available once a month, on the 4th Thursday of every month from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. Registration is required.
