Pacific Legal Education and Outreach Society (PLEO)
Provide Nunavut-specific legal information to non-profits throughout the territory through an AI-enabled digital platform.
In collaboration with the Nunavut Association for Non-Profit Organizations (NANPO), the goal of this project is to demystify the law for non-profit leaders, directors and communities. By demystifying the most common legal issues and making legal resources available, the overall capacity of the non-profit will be strengthened, enabling them to put more time and energy to their programs.
LawForNonProfits: Nunavut will bring LawForNonProfits (LFNP), a free, low-barrier,
AI-enabled digital platform, to Nunavut and provide Nunavut-specific legal information to non-profits throughout the territory.
Using a guided pathway format, LFNP’s Legal Help Guides (LHG) will make it easy for Nunavut non-profits to diagnose legal issues and create clear and shareable action plans to maintain compliance and avoid legal crises.
LawForNonProfits is driven by a commitment to providing free and accessible legal
tools to reduce the risk of legal crises arising in the day-to-day operation of non-profits.
PLEO received the initial Grant to develop the digital platform in collaboration with NANPO.

edfish Arts Society
Youth Arts and Justice Education Initiative
This initiative proposes an arts-based legal education program for Inuit youth aged 8–14 in Cambridge Bay. Rooted in community partnership, the project will bring together the Redfish Arts Studio, the Law Society of Nunavut, the Ontario Justice Education Network, and local institutions including CHARS and Nunavut Arctic College. The program will develop and deliver interactive workshops where art becomes a bridge to understanding law, rights, and community responsibility. Through visual storytelling and traditional symbols, the project will connect youth with both Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit and Canadian civic concepts, fostering awareness of justice, reconciliation, and community wellbeing.
The Redfish Art Studio received the initial Grant to support a Phase I consultation in Cambridge Bay with the objective of co‑developing a culturally grounded, arts‑based legal and civic education curriculum for Inuit youth aged 8–14 in Cambridge Bay.
