Recommendation 7:
Provide ongoing mobile legal clinics
Mobile legal clinics were identified as an effective means to reach workers in remote areas of the province with little access to transportation or services. Legal advocates would coordinate with community service providers to provide mobile clinics on an as-needed basis on farms and other rural locations at times that are convenient for workers to attend. Mobile legal clinics would allow workers to receive individual legal advice regarding their particular issues.
Public legal education workshops or information sessions may also be provided in conjunction with the mobile clinics according to the needs of the migrant workers in the various low-wage streams of the TFWP.
