FLIP YOUR WIG AMBASSADORS ON ACCESS TO JUSTICE The Flip Your Wig campaign would not be possible without the support of our Campaign Ambassadors, who help us fundraise, educate, strategize, and get the word out about the issues and our organizations. To view our full list of Ambassadors, please visit www.flipyourwigforjustice.ca/partners/ambassadors/. Hon. Bob Rae, Q.C., Partner, Olthius Kleer Townshend LLP, former Premier of Ontario: "Access to justice is fundamental to Canadian values. Our aim is to get the legal profession to recognise lack of access as a serious issue, to come to grips with it, and to propose some practical solutions. As lawyers, we have a responsibility to serve all the people, not just those with the means to pay for our services. I applaud the Flip Your Wig campaign for drawing our attention as a profession to this challenge." Janet Minor, Treasurer, Law Society of Upper Canada: "I am thrilled to be an Ambassador for this year's Flip Your Wig for Justice Campaign. e Law Society is committed to working with justice partners to find solutions to access to justice challenges. Flip Your Wig offers an innovative approach to celebrating the progress the legal profession has made on the access to justice crisis, even as the campaign draws attention to the work that still needs to be done. I urge members of our profession to flip their wigs with me this February, and to support this 'hair-raisingly' good cause in any way that you can!" #FLIP YOUR WIG 26 FLIP YOUR WIG
