The 2017 wildfires have displaced many people in large and small BC communities. They’ve also given rise to many legal issues and questions.
In response to the 2017 wildfires, Access Pro Bono has:
- set up a free telephone advice service (1-877-762-6664) for affected people; and
- enlisted several volunteer lawyers to provide answers to frequently asked legal questions in different areas of law covered in separate information sheets (currently being developed):
-
- 2017 BC Wildfires FAMILY Law Info Sheet
- 2017 BC Wildfires LANDLORD–TENANT Law Info Sheet
- 2017 BC Wildfires EMPLOYMENT Law Info Sheet (coming soon)
- 2017 BC Wildfires STRATA (CONDO) Law Info Sheet (coming soon)
- 2017 BC Wildfires INSURANCE Law Info Sheet (coming soon)
- 2017 BC Wildfires DEBTOR–CREDITOR Law Info Sheet (coming soon)
