Crystal MacCormac's CBC article shows how planning ahead can make aging easier for you and those who support you. Crystal's mom took early steps to make sure her children would know what to do for her care later.

Our team can help you get the tools you need for planning ahead. We can answer questions about wills, power of attorney, healthcare directives, and more. And, if you are living on a low income, you may be eligible for our legal clinic.

We were pleased to host MP Karina Gould, MP Sean Casey, and MP Kent MacDonald. We discussed the work we do and the importance of supporting Islanders with plain language legal information and responsive programming.

Plain language legal information helps people understand the law and their rights. When people understand the law, they are better able to protect their rights and make informed choices.

Thank you, MP Gould, MP Casey, and MP MacDonald, for your time and for your ongoing support of our work!

We’re introducing the people behind our client service team!

Our Legal Navigators answer your questions by phone, email, and in person. They listen with care, share clear legal information, and connect people to support, referrals, and helpful resources.

Today, we’re featuring the person who guides our team.

Meet Andrea Macdonald, our Client Service Manager. She supports clients with legal questions and helps make sure our service runs smoothly. Andrea joined our team in September 2019.

💬 What do you want people to know before they call us?

We’re not lawyers, so we can’t give legal advice. We can talk through your situation with you and help to figure out what options you have, and some people can be referred to a local lawyer for a low-cost consultation for advice.

🤝 What can someone expect when they contact us?

Empathy, understanding, and confidentiality. The information is provided in plain language and in a non-judgmental way.

💜 Why does this work matter to you?

Whether it’s answering questions, providing helpful information or just having a conversation, we help people with many different issues every day. It’s challenging and very rewarding work.
