For the past 25 years, the Indigenous Community Legal Clinic has played an important role in the Indigenous community throughout the province. The ICLC provides free legal services to those in need while also providing students with practical work experience. On November 14, students, alum and supporters of the ICLC came together to celebrate this milestone anniversary. In the picture to the right, Darwin Hanna (LLB '94) and Cynthia Callison (LLB '94) present a gift to the ICLC, which was accepted on behalf of the ICLC by Instructor and Academic Director of the ICLC Patricia Barkaskas (far left) and Lecturer and Director of the ICLC Mark Gervin (far right).
