For People With Disabilities
The ABLE2 and Reach boards of directors are delighted to announce that on January 3rd, 2023, Reach Canada merged with ABLE2 to increase our impact on people with disabilities in our community.
Reach Legal Services will now be a program of ABLE2, and the excellent legal education workshops will continue as part of ABLE2’s Grow Education Series. Jennifer Mbang will head up the service starting on January 30. Jennifer was called to the bar in 2018. She completed her articles at Reach Canada. She has experience in criminal law, disability law, education law, human rights, immigration, indigenous law, international law, and litigation.
Reach relies on the generous support of legal student volunteers who assist with Reach's Legal Referral Program. As Reach's volunteers adjust to their new semesters, please note that we may experience some delays. If you are seeking assistance with a legal matter, please click here to complete a Referral Request Form.
Please note that Reach's Legal Referral Service is very busy. We continue to work through referral requests as quickly as possible, keeping our limited volunteer availability in mind. We apologize for the inconvenience.
