We believe legal information should be accessible for everyone–so, naturally, we made a podcast about it!
Based in the city of Hamilton, the Social Planning and Research Council currently hosts two legal information projects: the Family Learning Project and the Tools for Tenant Rights Project. Both projects seek to increase access to information about Ontario’s laws while making it fun!
Join us on this journey where we explore Ontario's family and housing legal systems, engage with lawyers, paralegals and community workers, and even interview some four-legged friends.

Notes from the Field: an Interview with David Cheng (MSW, Hamilton Legal Outreach)
In this episode, we have conversation with David Cheng, a Social Worker and Systems Navigator at the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic. We learn about the Hamilton Legal Outreach, a service that aims to bridge the gap between community and access to legal services. We also talk a bit about some limitations of legal services, public legal education, and why access to legal services is so important.
