Since 2013, we have been the go-to organization for LGBTIQ+ legal aid, including security response.

Beginning in late 2017, our Legal Aid Centre has been taking its services to communities that may have less accessibility to our services. With this outreach initiative we have increased reporting of justice challenges and data collection on violations facing the LGBTIQ community.
