NEW!

We are pleased to release two accessible legal guides developed in collaboration with PBSC Calgary law student volunteers, under the supervision of Carina Au (Barrister & Solicitor).
These resources are designed to help older adults understand key legal concepts in clear, plain language. They are free and available as accessible PDFs.

Senior's Legal Access Program

The Seniors’ Legal Access Program helps older adults overcome barriers to access essential legal services, such as language, cultural differences, financial constraints, and mobility challenges. It provides low-cost assistance with prepare, update, and modify wills and related documents, ensuring seniors receive the support they need in a clear and accessible way.
MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT
This service is offered in community locations and in clients’ first languages, including English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Through partnerships with legal professionals, we assist with gathering necessary information, connecting seniors to affordable legal services, and supporting them until their documents are finalized.

FREE LEGAL EDUCATION
We also host free legal education webinars and seminars covering topics like will preparation, Power of Attorney vs. Personal Directive, and managing family conflicts. These sessions include interactive elements, such as quizzes, to make learning engaging and practical.
