Legal Services Survey

Take our legal services survey!

All artists require legal services, and an impressive amount of support is currently available, although not widely known. ELAN wants its members to be aware of existing legal services, what they cost, and under what conditions they are available.

ELAN has recently been in discussion with lawyers who are willing to offer reasonably priced, personalized legal services. To help us help the lawyers help you, please take a few minutes to fill out this short survey.

If you have questions, call Guy Rodgers, ELAN Executive Director, at 514.935.3312.

Land Acknowledgement

ELAN is an official minority language organization within a country that recognizes two languages as official. ELAN is located in Tiohtià:ke, the original name for Montreal in Kanien’kéha, the language of the Mohawk—also known as Mooniyang, which is the Anishinaabeg name given to the city by the Algonquin. While we are based in this city, our projects have also taken place in many regions across Quebec.

We acknowledge the colonial origin of English and French in Canada, and recognize that both languages benefit from official status throughout the land. The province that we know as Quebec is an amalgamation of the traditional territories of the Innu and Inuit nations, Algonquian nations, as well as the Mohawk nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Kanien’kéha and Anishinaabemowin are but two of the original languages of this province; Atikamekw, Cree, Inuktitut, and Innu-aimun are also among the many Indigenous languages spoken across Quebec as majority languages, all well before French and English.

ELAN acknowledges the important work being done by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to revive the traditional languages of these territories, and their advocacy for the official status of Indigenous languages.
