The Legal Aid Community Partner Program helps people on the Sunshine Coast understand their legal options and connect with free legal support.
Our Legal Aid Intake Coordinator works one-on-one with community members to help them navigate the legal system. This may include helping you apply for Legal Aid BC, connecting you to other free or low-cost legal services, or supporting you to attend virtual legal appointments. While you can access many of these services on your own, many people find it easier and less stressful to have a trusted person walk alongside them.
The Intake Coordinator also provides outreach at the Sechelt Provincial Courthouse twice monthly.
Our approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and judgment-free. We focus on making legal information more accessible, reducing barriers, and helping people feel informed about what they can access as they move through complex legal systems. The Resource Centre is not able to provide legal advice, as we do not have a staff lawyer.
If you’re not sure where to start, we can help.
Upcoming Outreach Dates at the Sechelt Courthouse
- Family Duty Counsel | Thursday, March 5 |1pm-3pm
- Criminal Duty Counsel | Wednesday, March 11 | 1pm-3pm
