3 Mots de la directrice Jessie Iwasiw Twenty five years of service to the low-income community calls out for a celebration. We are proud to have been able to assist thousands of families and individuals in need. Nous sommes très reconnaissants aussi d avoir eu 25 ans de succès en matières de droits, au développement communautaire et en réforme de droit. Nous l avons éffectué également dans les deux langues officielles. I am retiring now, after fifteen years as the Executive Director, and it gives me great satisfaction to look back over the history of the clinic and to realize what a difference we have made in the daily lives of so many people. Cette satisfaction diminue un peu la tristesse qui m'accable en disant adieu. The staff of our clinic has made all of this possible and I want to thank them for their profound commitment. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has made a contribution in any capacity to our clinic throughout the years. J aimerais également profiter de cette occasion pour remercier tous ceux qui ont contribué à nos efforts au fil des années. The clinic looks forward to future collaborations with you.

4 L histoire Clinic history Dans les années 80, un comité de citoyens francophones s est mis à développer les services de langue française parmi la région de Windsor et du comté d Essex. Avec l approbation de l ancien comité de financement des cliniques du Plan d Aide juridique de l Ontario ( g éré par la Société du Barreau du Haut- Canada ) une clinique juridique bilingue a été établie en Les lettres patentes ont été accordées le 22 février, 1988 et les noms des membres fondateurs sont inscrits ci-inclus. Le personnel originel inclut le directeur général/avocat, Jacques Chartrand; avocat, Terry Guerriero, conseillère juridique communautaire, Lucienne Bushnell; et secrétaire/réceptionniste, Marie Laforge. Au cours des 25 dernières années, la clinique a évolué et vu beaucoup de changements au personnel avec l exception de Marie Laforge qui est devenue la gérante de bureau et qui a dévoué sa carrière dans l administration et le bon fonctionnement de la clinique. La clinique continue de bénéficier du soutien du comité de financement des cliniques jusqu'à la réorganisation d Aide juridique Ontario. De quoi, au-delà de soixante et dix cliniques ont été impactées financièrement avec une augmentation de salaires, d équipement, d immeubles et la formation. Grâce à la direction de l Association des cliniques juridiques communautaires de l Ontario, les cliniques ont été capables de maintenir ces normes afin de s acheminer pour fournir les services de qualités dans ses communautés respectives.

5 Félicitations Jessie Iwasiw Hommage à une directrice extraordinaire et à sa retraite bien méritée. Les adieux ressemblent quelques fois à des au revoir. Bien que nos vies sont dorénavant en suspens dans différents jardins et que nos pieds ne foulent plus les mêmes fleurs, votre sagesse que vous nous avez plantée demeurera toujours avec nous. Ce n est pas un au revoir. Each ending brings a new beginning; a new chapter, if you will. Although your presence will surely be missed, we are excited for you to start writing your next chapter and look forward to hearing about your new endeavours. We wish to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for your guidance and patience as our Director and friend. As an attentive gardener, you not only planted flowers, but also planted your wisdom in us which we will carry forward in our new chapters. Judy Kevin Marie Lisa Tammy L histoire Clinic history In the mid 1980 s, a committee of francophone citizens set forth to expand French language services in the Windsor and Essex County region. With the approval of what was then called the Clinic Funding Committee of the Ontario Legal Aid Plan ( a dministered by the Law Society of Upper Canada), a Bilingual Legal Clinic was established and opened its doors in Its Letters Patent were granted on February 22, 1988 and the names of its founding members are listed herein. The original staff included Executive Director/Lawyer, Jacques Chartrand; Staff Lawyer, Terry Guerriero; Community Legal Worker, Lucienne Bushnell; and Secretary/Receptionist, Marie Laforge. Throughout the past 25 years, the clinic has evolved and has seen staff members come and go with the exception of Marie Laforge who became Office Manager and has devoted her career to maintaining the administration and functioning of the clinic. The clinic continued to receive support from the CFC until it was rolled into the new corporation of Legal Aid Ontario. With that, over seventy provincial clinics have seen an impact financially. They obtained better equipment, furnishings, training and salary increases. With the leadership of the Association for Community Legal Clinics of Ontario, the clinics are able to maintain that standard in order to push forward and provide high quality services within their respective communities.
