Legal Help Centre (LHC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing access to justice and reducing barriers for low-income and underserved Manitobans. We provide free legal information, self-representation support, system navigation, and referrals to resources through our in-person Drop-in Clinic or telephone appointments.
We are an independent agency of the government of Manitoba, responsible for administering the Human Rights Code. If you are experiencing or have recently experienced discrimination, we can take your complaint and conduct an investigation to determine if there is enough evidence to warrant a hearing. We also offer mediation services throughout the process in an attempt to resolve the issue without a hearing.
If you're part of a public interest group or have a low income, we take pro bono test cases, specifically those involving consumer law, poverty law, environmental law, Indigenous law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms challenges.
We offer a full range of legal services to the Manitoban Francophone community, especially those with lower incomes, newcomers and racialized communities. Our services are in French and free of charge.
