Today is a special day at PLIAN as we celebrate Shirley White, our Access to Justice Coordinator for Labrador, who is retiring today. Shirley has had a long career working in the legal system in Labrador, but we have been very lucky to have her work with us over the past 5 years, leading the launch of our Labrador Office in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. During her time working with PLIAN, Shirley has directly supported thousands of Labradorians with their legal issues and questions, helping them better understand their legal rights and options and how to navigate through the legal system. She has travelled to every corner of Labrador to deliver legal education presentations and help facilitate free legal clinics in communities from Nain to Labrador City, Forteau to Sheshatshiu, and everywhere in between! Shirley led the way with the development of our office in Goose Bay and our services in Labrador, later welcoming the other members of our Labrador "Dream Team", Paula Michelin and Martina Lavallée, who will carry on the great work Shirley started along with our newest staff member in Labrador, Abby Poole. Shirley is a true champion for access to justice, for legal education, and for the people of Labrador. We will miss her very much at PLIAN, but we are so happy that she will be able to enjoy her incredibly well-deserved retirement and be able to take more time to travel and spend time with her family! Congratulations Shirley, thank you for all you have done, and best wishes for your retirement!! (fb)
