ARCH DISABILITY LAW CENTRE

ARCH Disability Law Centre provides free legal services to people with disabilities across Toronto and Ontario. The organization handles cases involving human rights, employment discrimination, housing access, and benefits disputes. ARCH lawyers and paralegals represent clients in court and tribunal proceedings, negotiate settlements, and advocate for systemic change affecting disabled people. The centre also runs a public legal education program, offering workshops and resources on disability rights. ARCH takes cases that other legal aid services may decline, focusing on test cases that establish precedent and benefit the broader disability community. The organization combines direct client representation with policy work, pushing for legislative reform to remove barriers faced by people with disabilities in employment, housing, healthcare, and other areas of civic life.
