In 2020, the Pacific Legal Education and Outreach (PLEO) Society produced a report, Now More Than Ever: Towards a National Network of Legal Clinics for the Arts, a significant new research on the multitude of legal challenges facing individuals working in the Canadian arts sector.

CARFAC also has a list of resources for resolving legal problems in all provinces. Members can email us for referrals. We can also link members to other legal resources and services – just send us information about your specific issue.
