Andrea – your dynamic and cheerful presence is already missed.  In addition to the devotion and passion with which you served the men and women at Just Solutions, you also found time to organize bike rides, benefit suppers and charity ping pong tournaments!  We will try to emulate your amazing spirit that has left a lasting imprint on your colleagues and on the organization. We wish you all the best ‘down under’ and look forward to pictures and stories of your adventures!

And so a new chapter begins. 

We welcome Me Mylène Barrière as new coordinator of Just Solutions and Me Marie-Pier Leduc as new coordinator of the Seniors’ Mobile Legal Clinic. Both Mylène and Marie-Pier bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as a strong commitment to creating an inclusive society where all receive the assistance and encouragement they require to live with dignity.

Nous souhaitons la bienvenue également à Danny Nguyen, étudiant en droit et bénévole, et Talia Joundi, stagiaire en droit.

Bonne chance et bienvenue à bord à tous et chacun!

Talia Joundi

“Taking part in the work of MCM and Just Solutions is an important opportunity for me as a law student; it is a chance to be active in the support network for individuals and families with precarious immigration status in a real way. Recently, I thanked Rick (supervising lawyer) for taking the time to look over my writing, he gave me an amused look and said: “of course; we're a team here”. It's both the importance of the work, and the attitude of the team at Just Solutions that have me feeling so grateful to be here for the summer.”

“I'm very happy to be volunteering at the Just Solutions Clinics where I can use the skills I have acquired in university to help people in a precarious status. I'm also very glad to be surrounded by a great team of workers and volunteers who share the same passion of making a difference in the community.”
