Funding Restored for Legal Aid Clinics

The Northwest Legal Clinic is relieved the provincial government has
reversed its funding cuts.

Earlier this week, the Ministry of the Attorney General announced it was
providing an additional 30 million dollars to community legal clinics.

Trudy McCormick is the executive director of the Northwest Legal Clinic
and says earlier this year the province had slashed their budget.

McCormick says if the province had not restored their funding, they were
looking at potential service cuts across the region.
