FH&P Lawyers Support Access Pro Bono
Initiative raises $30,000 to help facilitate access to justice for low- and modest-income people.
September 20, 2010
FH&P Lawyers Don Lewthwaite, Heidi Taylor and Dylan Switzer volunteered at Pro Bono Going Public earlier this month.
Pro Bono Going Public is an initiative of the Access Pro Bono Society of British Columbia - a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting access to justice for people and non-profit organizations of limited means.
Lawyers donate their time to the cause, providing free legal advice at an outdoor clinic, as well as raising sponsorship from colleagues, clients, friends and family.
This year's event was held over three days in Victoria, Kelowna and Vancouver and reached it's fund raising target of $30,000.
