Multilingolegal.ca was designed to increase access to comprehensive and critical legal information for newcomers to Canada and community workers in nine different languages including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Korean, Persian, Punjabi, Spanish and Vietnamese.
Since its implementation this project has been contributing to the legal education efforts undertaken by several community agencies guided by the following objectives:
To promote legal education through increasing public awareness of the law and justice system in B.C.
To help improve the accessibility and utility of legal and law-related materials to both the legal profession and the public throughout B.C.
To allow community workers and settlement practitioners in B.C. to provide essential basic legal information to new Canadians with limited knowledge of English.
To enhance existing distribution methods for community groups that have produced legal education and information materials in languages other than English.
Multilingolegal.ca was built by a partnership of the Latin American Community Council and MOSAIC. The Website is regularly maintained and we continue to include additional publications in these languages as soon as they become available. .
We strongly encourage community groups and agencies interested in sharing their translated documents to contact us.
