A Public Legal Education Project for BC’s Non-Profits and Charities: PLEI for Non-Profits

March 7: Presentation to the Legislative Committee on Bill C-11 My name is Martha Rans and I am the Legal Director of the Artists’ Legal Outreach and Education Society(ALO) in Vancouver. I am a lawyer who has been advising artists for more than 18 years. The ALO has provided advice information and education to 1000's of BC creators. As a copyright educator I have lectured in several post secondary settings to hundreds of students of art and design. They are the future of the creative sector in this country. Creativity flourishes irrespective of the law. It always has and it always will.
