Funders

PBSC has shown that today’s law students can become tomorrow’s leaders in continuing to engage our profession in pro bono and public interest work and initiatives. Our partners make all this possible.

The Law Foundation of Ontario is PBSC's Primary Funder and supports all seven Ontario law school programs as well the PBSC Central Office.

McCarthy Tétrault is PBSC's National Law Firm Partner and supports the national program as well as PBSC Programs across the country.

The University of Toronto Faculty of Law houses the PBSC Central Office and provides vital administrative support and recources  

    

In addition to these critical funders, PBSC Programs rely on key funding and support from Legal Aid Ontario, the provincial law foundations, law schools and community partners across the country. For more information about these partners please see the PBSC Chapters page.

 


The rewards of such volunteer work include the chance to greater familiarize myself with statutory research, and to learn about an important aspect of governance in Canada, namely how such governance is regulated. Without seeming too corny or idealistic, it’s rewarding to know that I’m volunteering for a group that is furthering a cause which I believe can only be beneficial for all Canadians.
