Services in region - Southwestern Ontario
Services Map is an interactive guide to key legal and social services in Ontario. We will be adding more information to the various sections of our Services Map in the coming weeks.
There are community legal clinics across Ontario that give free legal help or advice to people who have low incomes. All of the clinics in the Southwestern Ontario region can be found on the map or listed alphabetically below. To get services from most community legal clinics, you must live in the area they serve and your income and assets cannot be above a certain level. To find out if you qualify for services, you can contact your local clinic.
Many organizations listed on this web site may not appear in regional maps but are able to help people who live anywhere in Ontario. For more information see: Services in region - Serves all of Ontario
Javascript is required to view this map.
211 Ontario is an information and referral hotline that gives help in many languages. Dial 211 for free from any phone in Ontario. They take calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
