In partnership with community agencies, our goal is to open South Fraser Legal in November 2009. The centre’s mandate is to improve access to justice by providing free information and resources on a variety of legal issues.

A location for the centre has been selected that is convenient and accessible for clients travelling within Surrey, Delta, and White Rock as well as clients travelling from Langley, Coquitlam, and surrounding communities. The centre’s location will also allow easy accessibility for clients using public transit services.

Building 3

# 213 - 7565 132nd Street

Surrey, BC  V3W 1K5

Our SFWSS advocates will be there to provide full-time family law advocacy.

Partnering agencies are rotating their schedules to ensure their continual presence at the centre as well.

All clients will be met initially by a Legal Information Worker - someone who will identify each client’s needs, and schedule a meeting with the appropriate advocate. The Legal Information Worker will also be able to assist clients with available resources and handle the daily administrative work of the centre.
