Low-income residents will have the chance to take advantage of free legal advice next month as a four hour event is hosted in Kelowna next month.

The Pro Bono Going Public advice-a-thon will be hosted at the City Park Rose Garden on Tuesday, September 10 and consist of lawyers rotating in hour-long shifts over the course of the half day event. Running from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., the lawyer volunteers will cover all areas of the law and will help provide free legal advice to those who need it.

The 12th annual event is meant to help those in the community who may otherwise have limited access to traditional free legal advice clinics. The organizers of the event, Access Pro Bono Society of BC, are also fundraising with the hopes of raising $75,000 or more for BC’s pro bono programs.

Similar events will also take place in Vancouver and Surrey next month, as well as telephone clinic for those who cannot attend the events.

Those interested in participating are encouraged to pre-register for an appointment slot online or by phone to ensure there will time to discuss their issue. Drop in is also available for those who are unable to commit to a specific time.
