Event

Legal Who Gala 2014

This year's Legal Who Gala will be held at the beautiful Compass Room of Casino Nova Scotia. Featuring a buffet dinner, silent auction and dance, the evening will be a fun time while raising much needed funds for Dalhousie Legal Aid.

Dalhousie Legal Aid serves the low income community in Nova Scotia on issues such as CPP disability claims, income assistance matters, landlord/tenant disputes, debtor creditor issues and other such matters. This is work that goes unfunded by the provincial government and continues through our fundraising efforts as well as grants. During the course of a day our lawyers, community legal workers and law students give voice to those living in poverty who may not have the skills or energy to advocate for themselves. We see single parents deciding between food and power and help them to negotiate with NS Power to keep their services; we see tenants living in abhorrent conditions who need our help to motivate their landlords to make necessary repairs; the list goes on.
