Emily OKeefe, Guest Speaker for Univeristy of Guelph Students

Our Associate, Emily OKeefe has volunteered as counsel with Luke’s Place for the past several years.

Emily was very pleased to be invited by our student, Claire,  to speak to a group of students at the University of Guelph last week, alongside Dr. Mavis Morton who is the Chair of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Guelph. Dr Morton is also a long-time researcher and contributor to Luke’s Place. Emily had a great time speaking to students about the work we do, the very important role that Luke’s Place plays in our family justice system, and the barriers to justice that many low-income clients face.

The University of Guelph is generously raising money for Luke’s Place this year. If you can contribute, that would be wonderful. Please see the link here: https://lukesplace.ca/donate/.
