The countdown is on for the Edmonton Community Legal Centre’s (ECLC) 2nd Annual Advice-A-thon!
About ECLC
ECLC provides free legal information and advice to low and moderate income people in the Edmonton area. Their mission is to provide effective advocacy and access to justice in a supportive environment to such persons.
The 2016 ECLC Advice-A-thon is just one of the many ways that Edmonton’s legal community can come together to help ECLC achieve their mission. ECLC hosts several programs that require the support of dedicated volunteers who generously donate their time. Such programs include, Dial-a-Law, Family Law Program, Income Supports Program, Free Legal Clinics, and much more.

2016 Advice-A-thon Details
On September 24, 2016, ECLC is asking lawyers to come together in Sir Winston Churchill Square and donate an hour of their time by offering summary legal advice to persons living with low income. Edmonton’s legal community has already raised $750, but ECLC needs your help! This year’s fundraising goal is $25,000.
Participate in 2 half-hour sessions and collect pledges for your donated time to raise funds for ECLC’s programs and services. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy music, snacks, and great company.
Here’s what one client and lawyer had to say about this event.
“That was really professional legal advice. I’m very happy with the given service (everything just perfect).”
“So well organized & carried out. Thank you for all the attention to detail – you made it a huge success!”
