Connecting Communities is a three-year pilot project to improve access to legal information and services for those who don’t speak English or French or who live in rural and remote communities. 

Connecting projects are developed through partnerships between legal and community agencies to train front-line community workers on legal education and referral. 

Your agency may be interested in creating a partnership between legal and community agencies to develop a Connecting Project.

The training committee is made up of front-line service providers actively involved in community legal education. This group will identify and share innovative approaches to training that supports those doing this important work.

Your agency may be interested in sharing some of the creative work that it has done in legal education training and delivery.

Provincial Community Legal Education Network: Connecting Communities will create a province-wide network for community and legal workers who are interested in community legal education and information. The network will provide a forum for discussion and learning, and will share information and successful models of training.

Your agency may be interested in joining the network to work in closer collaboration with other agencies.
