How you can use the Clicklaw HelpMap


As you know, Courthouse Libraries BC launched the HelpMap component of the Clicklaw website in December 2009. To give you a flavour of what the Clicklaw HelpMap offers, they've created a five-minute YouTube video, which shows you the top five things you can do on the HelpMap:

  1. You can search by community in British Columbia for someone who can help with legal problems.
  2. You can locate a result on the map (where they’re integrating with GoogleMaps).
  3. You can narrow your results down — by topic (e.g., show me only "Family law" services), or by type of help (e.g., only show me services that provide "legal advocacy, advice, or representation").
  4. You can start your search by clicking on a topic and narrowing down your search from there.
  5. You can find services that are provided in languages other than English (by starting with a community in BC and narrowing down by language).

The Clicklaw team would love to hear your feedback on the Clicklaw HelpMap. Please consider taking their three-minute Clicklaw feedback survey online, posting a comment on their blog, or sending them an e-mail.
