Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada

People with multiple sclerosis are often faced with a variety of legal challenges involving human rights, employment equity, estate planning, and family law issues.

The Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Volunteer Legal Advocacy Program was developed to provide a resource of volunteers with legal expertise to work towards meeting the specific needs of VLAP members. The VLAP has been successfully implemented in Victoria, Nanaimo, Prince George, Kamloops, Kelowna, Fraser Valley and Vancouver. We are presently recruiting lawyers in all areas of law.

If you are interested in making a difference in the lives of people affected by MS, please contact 1-800-268-7582 or heather.armstrong@mssociety.ca

Our Goal: to provide advocacy support and legal advice to those affected by MS.
