The Alberta Law Foundation is proud to support organizations like Diversecities Community Service Association in fostering access to justice.
“The Alberta Law Foundation has played a vital role in funding community initiatives that support access to justice for members of Calgary’s Chinese-speaking community. As our surrounding communities become increasingly diverse, and faced with a challenging combination of socio-economic, cultural, language, and other intersectional barriers, it is critically important for community organizations, non-profits and institutions, to provide culturally-safe and accessible programs and services that are both educational and preventative in nature – all of which are important in encouraging fairer legal outcomes and promoting legal literacy in our communities. Diversecities Community Service Association is privileged to be recipients of funding from the Alberta Law Foundation for the Law and Advocacy Program, which has for over a decade played a significant role in serving as Calgary’s only dedicated community-based program that provides public legal information and public legal education in Chinese.”
