Roger Snelling
Seniors' Legal Clinic
About the Clinic
The Roger Snelling Clinic was a free legal information clinic that specialized in information and services in immigration and administrative law to a low-income immigrant population aged 55 and up, as well as Canadian born seniors. The Clinic used an interdisciplinary approach in resolving their clients' issues and relies on the support of social workers, doctors and other community workers.
​
The Clinic was created as a response to the greater vulnerability of elderly migrants and other seniors, with the objective of increasing their autonomy and their establishment in their chosen community. The Clinic also aims to participate in the development of the field of elder law, with special attention to the unique situations faced by elders with a migrant background.
