Building Better Communities, One Grant at a Time
The BC Notary Foundation Joins over 50 Partners in the Access to Justice BC’s Triple Aim Initiative
T
he goal of “Access to Justice Triple Aim” is to improve access to justice in BC and provide action in the successful pursuit of that goal. “The Notary Foundation of BC has supported access to justice initiatives for many years, through funding many public legal education projects dealing with access to justice and organizations that provide services directly to those who, because of their financial situation, can’t afford the costs of a lawyer,” says Tammy Morin Nakashima, Chair of The Notary Foundation of BC. “The Notary Foundation is very pleased with the development of the triple aim goals and we are confident real change may
be on the horizon because of this group’s work.” “The BC Notaries Association is proud to be a signatory to this initiative that will support improved access to justice for all British Columbians,” says Daniel Boisvert, President of the BC Notaries Association.
The Notary Foundation is committed to serving the people of our province by providing funding for legal aid, legal research, and public legal education The idea for “Access to Justice Triple Aim” was inspired by the
BC health sector, where strong focus promoted innovation in that field; it will now benefit BC’s justice system and the people of British Columbia. The three interrelated elements of the goal are 1) improving access to justice at the population (or subpopulation) level; 2) improving the experience of people who need access to justice; and 3) improving costs that includes reducing costs in other sectors because of the benefits of improved access to justice. The Notary Foundation is committed to serving the people of our province by providing funding for legal aid, legal research, and public legal education, including grants to organizations that assist the needs of individuals to better understand and navigate the legal system in British Columbia. s
