Unknown Rights
Are Not Rights at All!

Welcome to Community Legal Education Association

Community Legal Education Association is a charitable organization that provides Manitobans with information about the law through several services. We have existed since 1984.

CLEA’s office is located on Treaty 1 Territory, the traditional gathering place of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the traditional homeland of the Métis people.  Winnipeg’s water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.

We acknowledge that much harm was done in the past and dedicate ourselves to move forward in the spirit of reconciliation.
