What does the perfect justice system look like? Why is justice so difficult to access by so many people in British Columbia? These are the questions that the Coalition for Public Legal Services (CPLS) strives to answer.
We are a group of justice stakeholders and community advocates promoting the need for an accessible justice system in our province.

Love is not enough bike tour

On August 16th, Jennifer Fisk is leaving Victoria on a cross country cycle tour across Canada to raise money for the Access to Justice Fund.
By doing this, Jennifer is hoping to:
- to raise $100,000 for the fund
- finish the 7,200km journey alive
- collect 15,000 signatures for reform to our legal aid system
- to inspire others to get involved
- to prove sometimes Love can be enough
Jennifer's inspiration for this tour is quite amazing, and her pursuit is heartwarming.
