Ontario providing improved access to legal services Province to increase legal aid Air eligibility threshold on April 1, 2017 Ontario is providing more people with affordable access to legal services by increasing the financial eligi- bility threshold for legal aid by another six percent. Effective April 1, 2017, about 140 000 more people will be eligible to receive the legal services they need, regardless of their ability to pay. This has been made possi- ble by the province's invest- ments in Legal Aid Ontario (LAO) to increase access to legal aid services for low- income and vulnerable peo- ple province -wide. This is part of Ontario's 2014 commitment to expand access to legal aid services provided by LAO to an addi- tional one million Ontarians in ten years. With more than 500 000 additional people who will be eligible for legal aid, Ontario is now more than halfway to this goal. Improving access to jus- tice is part of the govern- ment's plan to keep commu- nities safe and help people in their everyday lives. This year, Ontario is investing almost $67 million to help LAO provide legal services in areas such as criminal, family, immigra- tion, mental health and pov- erty law. This is the fourth time that Ontario has boosted the eli- gibility threshold by six per- cent. Previous increases took place on November 1, 2014, April 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016. "Everyone in Ontario deserves access to justice and now more low-income Ontarians are eligible for legal aid, thanks to the expansion of financial eligi- bility thresholds. On behalf of Legal Aid Ontario, I want to thank the provincial gov- ernment for its commitment to make justice more acces- sible to those who need it", John McCamus, Chair of Legal Aid Ontario said. An eligibility threshold is the income level at which people can qualify for legal aid services. Contact LAO toll-free at 1-800-668-8258, or email info@lao.on.ca for general inquiries or to find out if you qualify. Ontario has increased LAO's funding by $153 mil- lion over the past four years, which has helped people in the province access: repre- sentation for urgent or seri- ous matters; advice about legal rights; obligations and court processes; assistance in the courtroom for bail hearings and sentencing; and local legal services from a community clinic, in areas such as social assistance and housing law. The Huron Perth Com- munity Legal Clinic offers a variety of legal services to residents who face eco- nomic limitations. For those who qualify, services are free. There are free public legal education sessions held every month at the Huron Perth Community Legal Clinic, located at 59 Lorne Avenue East, in Stratford. Call 519-271-4556, ext. 29 or email birmink@lao. on.ca to register for one of the monthly sessions hosted by the Huron Perth Community Legal Clinic, to learn about employment insurance benefits.
