The province spends more money on legal aid in the north than in southern Ontario.
That's the finding of a new study conducted by the Law Society of Upper Canada.
It found that the province pays just over 31 dollars per capita in the Kenora District for legal aid, compared to less than 7 dollars in Ottawa.
The study also shows that a higher percentage of lawyers in Kenora do legal aid work than elsewhere in the province.
The report was commissioned to look into the legal needs of Ontarians.
