The Law Foundation of British Columbia has designated funds of up to $600,000 for the creation of a Children’s Lawyer’s Office for British Columbia. The purpose of the initiative is to support a two-year pilot project to establish a Children’s Lawyer’s Office for British Columbia. The Children’s Lawyer will provide direct legal services to children and youth in British Columbia in the areas of family law and child protection law, with possible other areas including mental health law, housing, youth criminal justice, employment law, school law, bullying, policing, and other areas of need.
