As community minded lawyers, we are huge fans of the organization Connecting Ottawa. They bring together frontline workers with access to justice service providers. In so doing, they help people find legal services and social services.
This month, Connecting Ottawa has published some helpful resources. We encourage our readers to republish these useful links.

Parkdale Food Centre Opens Community Advocacy Office - The Parkdale Food Centre, an incredible organization, has now opened an advocacy office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11AM - 2PM. By drop-in or appointment, individuals can meet with a service provider to identify needs and obtain assistance accessing available resources.
