The North Shore Legal Clinic is one of more than 70 poverty law clinics operating across Ontario, all of which are funded by Legal Aid Ontario. The clinic’s staff is situated in the City of Elliot Lake, but their services extend beyond this locality. They cover a broad service area that includes the North Shore of Lake Huron, stretching from Massey to Iron Bridge.

This expansive coverage ensures that a wide range of individuals and communities have access to legal support. Additionally, the clinic is designated as bilingual, which means it is equipped to provide assistance in both French and English. This bilingual capability is an essential part of their mission, allowing them to serve a diverse population effectively and ensuring that language barriers do not impede access to legal aid.
