Hi friends

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought serious challenges to everyone in BC-- especially vulnerable British Columbians with critical legal problems.  The pandemic has acceentuated existing inequalities and has made it even harder for low income people to access legal services.  As a result the demand for the free legal services provided by Access Pro Bono has increased 30% since last year.  In an attempt to meet these crucial societal needs, Access Pro Bono is organizing its second virtual free legal advice-a-thon to provide financial support for the free legal services that it provides, thereby ensuring access to justice for British Columbians in need.

This September 13 - 24, I'll be one of over 120 lawyers providing free legal help at the virtual Pro Bono Going Public 2021. Access Pro Bono and I would really appreciate your financial support to help us continue to serve low and modest income British Columbians in need. You can lend your support by making a charitable donation via the 'DONATE NOW' button on my fundraising page.  All funds donated will go directly to support the free legal advice programs provided by Access Pro Bono.

I hope that you will assist us by providing a donation and I thank you in advance for your generosity.

Best wishes

Bill
