For people struggling to find affordable help for complex legal issues, the search can be daunting. Fortunately for Ella, Kensington-Bellwoods Community Legal Services (KBCLS) was just around the corner. 

Since 1982, KBCLS has been steadfast in its mission: to help people living on low incomes resolve issues with tenant rights, immigration and refugee status, and income security (CPP, OAS, ODSP & OW). They also promote public legal education, law reform initiatives and community development in our neighbourhood.

“One of my friends was in the same situation as me and went to KBCLS. She had nothing but good things to say about Lee, the immigration lawyer and the clinic, and highly recommended that I do the same. As a single mom with kids living in Canada without status, KBCLS was a blessing. They helped tremendously and walked me through everything. Lee worked very hard for me and I appreciate that so much. She was amazing! 

“Now I have no worries about myself, my boys and our future. I am legally in Canada now and can visit my mom and family in Malaysia who I had not seen for 20 years. I love Lee! I love KBCLS! I love Canada! Thank you so much!”
