At Legal Aid Alberta we stand for the protection of human rights and equitable access to justice.
Like the rest of the world, we are watching in horror and sadness as the invasion of Ukraine continues to take the lives of so many.
At Legal Aid Alberta we stand for the protection of human rights and equitable access to justice. Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine and Ukrainian communities around the world. It is difficult to comprehend and witness these acts of violence, and some of our own loved ones are impacted. We feel helpless in these times. Many members of our LAA community have asked about ways to help.
There are many public and private groups you can support, including:
- CanadaHelps
Donate to Ukraine Emergency Relief Efforts | CanadaHelps – Donate to any charity in Canada - Canadian Red Cross
Donate to the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal – UHCA MWF Don (redcross.ca) - UNICEF Canada
Send Help to Children in Ukraine | UNICEF Canada
Support is available to our LAA team members:
Please reach out to the Employee and Family Assistance Program for supports if you need them at this difficult time and know that we are here for you.
We at Legal Aid Alberta join those who have summoned the courage to call out the exercise of unconstrained power that has no place in our modern society.
