Big changes are coming this summer! As of July 2, 2026, MCLS will be welcoming community members at our brand-new, fully accessible location:

Don't worry—our services aren't pausing! You can still count on us for the same dedicated legal support in housing, immigration, employment, and benefits. Our new home just means better transit options, easier parking, and a more accessible space for everyone.

June marks National Indigenous History Month—a time dedicated to honoring the unique heritage, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

We acknowledge that the impacts of colonial history continue to shape the realities of Indigenous communities today, extending far beyond the history books. As a community legal clinic, we recognize our responsibility to help heal the gaps left by systemic barriers. We are deeply committed to dismantling these hurdles, cultivating meaningful partnerships, and restoring the foundational trust needed to ensure legal systems serve, respect, and empower everyone.

True advocacy means championing culturally safe spaces and ensuring equitable access to justice for all. 🧡

Pride Month is here! 🌈✨

Everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and respected when reaching out for help.

At Mississauga Community Legal Services, we help connect people from all walks of life with the legal information, advice, and support they need to move forward, including resources and supports that are inclusive and affirming for 2SLGBTQ+ communities.

Whether someone is looking for guidance, has questions about their rights, or simply needs a place to start, we’re here to help.

SALCO was proud to intervene in this landmark case. Our message was simple: courts must understand family violence in context. For many survivors, abuse is not only physical. It can include coercive control, financial dependence, isolation, language barriers, immigration and resettlement vulnerability, pressure around family honour, and the involvement of extended family members. Access to justice means the legal system must see the whole person, the whole pattern of abuse, and the real barriers to leaving. Read more about the decision here: https://lnkd.in/eqnzjUvB
