We also operate a Virtual Indigenous Justice Centre. The goal of the VIJC is to provide no-cost legal services to Indigenous clients living in under-served areas of the province where access to legal advice or representation is difficult or non-existent.

 Justice Centres

Indigenous Justice Centres (IJCs) provide culturally appropriate information, advice, support and representation directly to Indigenous people at the community level. There are currently fifteen IJCs and one Virtual IJC in the province. We know access to justice for our people demands more than 15 brick and mortar IJCs, and we are actively advocating for solutions to address this.
