Legal Aid BC has asked The Advocacy Centre to accept applications in Nelson for Legal Aid representation. Through this pilot program, Legal Aid applications can be made in Nelson in person or by phone. To apply, please call The Advocacy Centre at 250-352-5777. In person applications must be scheduled in advance and can be taken anywhere in Nelson’s downtown core if COVID and safety protocols are observed. We hope to have a drop in times available in the near future – we will keep you posted!
Note: People continue to have the option to apply for Legal Aid through the Provincial Call Centre in Vancouver – 1-866-577-2525.
