Happy (almost) Spring everyone! In the spirit of spring and renewal, this week’s post highlights new content from our friends at Legal Aid BC and People’s Law School. A quick reminder that in BC, all legal information created for the public is findable through Clicklaw. If ever in doubt about where to look on a given topic, that's your starting point!

Looking for print handouts? Copying with Separation during COVID-19 is now in print and available to order! You can order them directly through Crown Publications along with any other print legal booklets you think your patrons may find helpful.

We’re just getting started on our 2021 Starter Legal Display Kit – stay tuned for more information!
