The legal profession has a long tradition of charity and volunteerism.
I am happy to be a supporter of the Law Society of Upper Canada's Lawyers Feed the Hungry program. I have also volunteered my time at the program; preparing and serving meals, and cleaning up.
The Law Society has operated the program for the past 11 years. Four sit-down meals and three take-away meals are served each week, for a total of 1,600 meals weekly. The program operates out of the Law Society's Cafeteria at Osgoode Hall in at 130 Queen Street West, Toronto.
It is humbling to serve people in need, and I am honoured to be a supporter of this good work. The program costs about $6,000.00 each week, and although most of the support comes from lawyers and the Law Society, donations are welcome from all (plus, you'll get a tax receipt).
Everyone's right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be deprived of his life intentionally save in the execution of a sentence of a court following his conviction of a crime for which this penalty is provided by law. Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs shall be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of public safety, for the protection of public order, health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
