Community Legal Education Association is a charitable organization that provides Manitobans with information about the law through several services. We have existed since 1984.
CLEA’s office is located on Treaty 1 Territory, the traditional gathering place of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the traditional homeland of the Métis people. Winnipeg’s water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.
We acknowledge that much harm was done in the past and continues to be done. Therefore, we dedicate ourselves to move forward in the spirit of reconciliation.
The legal information on this website is about Canadian laws, in the case of federal legislation, and Manitoba laws, in the case of provincial legislation. Information about specific laws in other Canadian provinces may be available on the Links page.
With the financial support of Justice Canada, our Victims of Intimate Partner Violence program offers information about the law and supports available to help survivors. We have a telephone line open from 9 a.m. until noon on weekdays and a dedicated email address.
