2019 AGM
The 2019 AGM and Conference was held on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27, 2019 in Toronto.
Conference Theme: “Surviving and Thriving in Challenging Times“
Events that have transformed Ontario since our last AGM have directed us to focus the 2019 Annual Conference and General Meeting on ensuring that clinics thrive as they defend the rights of their communities and ensure access to justice for the most disadvantaged. The 2019 AGM will focus on Surviving and Thriving in Challenging Times. The goal for this AGM is to analyze the threats to the rights and entitlements of low-income people, including access to community legal services. We want to strategize on how, as legal clinics, we can mobilize to guard against those threats.
