This episode is well worth the listen. We’re honoured to know Nicole and some of her team. Women's Legal Clinic - Elizabeth Fry Society of Sask.
A brand new episode featuring Nicole Obrigavitch from the Elizabeth Fry Society of Saskatchewan is available wherever you listen to including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or the YXE Underground website!
Since 1981, the Elizabeth Fry Society has supported women across Canada who are criminalized or are at risk of criminalization. In Saskatchewan, the organization is led by Nicole Obrigavitch, and she is helping to grow the Elizabeth Fry Society’s impact in our city, especially when it comes to affordable housing.
When Nicole started as the Executive Director of the Elizabeth Fry Society in 2023, the organization had seven staff and focused on helping women who were leaving the prison or were in the criminal justice system. Today, Nicole leads a staff of 31 people who are still providing those services but are also helping women get the supports and services they need to prevent entering the criminal system.
My friend Brynn KService, who was on the podcast last year, first mentioned Nicole to me as a potential guest for the podcast, and I am grateful she did because, as you will hear, Nicole is a passionate advocate for women at risk, and she has a direct style of communication that is leading to positive change in .
Thank you for continuing to support a local, independent podcast in Saskatoon, and I know you’re going to love Nicole’s episode!
Cheers…Eric
