The Clinic was established in 1985 when the Durham Tenants Hotline applied for funding as a full-service legal clinic. The clinic opened in February 1985 under its current name The Durham Community Legal Clinic. In December 2001, the clinic co-located with Legal Aid which provides low income residents of Durham Region quality legal services in a convenient central location.
The Durham Community Legal Clinic has amended our By-Law to be in accordance with the Not-For-Profit Corporations Act. We are approving these changes at our Annual General Meeting on September 25, 2014. If you wish to review or make comments with respect to these changes, please contact our office.
