Find an Advocate

The Find an Advocate tool has been integral to PovNet's goal of connecting people. When it first launched, it was to connect advocates working outside of Vancouver with others and with up-to-date resources. Today that remains the case, as advocates working in small or rural communities often work in isolation. Find an Advocate is also helpful for people who need assistance from a legal advocate, as it allows them to find one nearest to them or one that serves people provincially.

How to use the tool:

  1. Click the Search button with the magnifying glass icon

  2. Enter your town or city under Location, or enter a keyword under Text (example: housing, family, tenancy, disability)

  3. You can also filter by Areas of Advocacy or Cities using the dropdowns

  4. Click Search to see results on the map and as a list below

There is a possibility that the service doesn't exist in your city — you may need to expand your search range or choose Provincial under Cities, as some services are found province-wide and not just in specific cities.

If you're having any issues finding an advocate, please email [email protected].

We do not provide direct legal services, so please do not email us with requests for legal representation or advice.
