Aboriginal Legal Services of Toronto ( ALST) is a multi-service Legal Agency serving Toronto's Aboriginal Community. ALST is a not-for-profit, charitable organization whose operations are overseen by a community Board of Directors.
ALST was established February 21, 1990 based on a needs assessment conducted by the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto in the mid 1980's. The Centre had been operating legal-related programs for Aboriginal people in Toronto but concluded an agency dedicated to Aboriginal Justice issues was needed.
ALST offers many programs, including: - Aboriginal Courtworker Program
- Community Council
- Advocacy
- Gladue ( Aboriginal Persons) Caseworker Program
- Kaganoodamaagon (Victims Rights Advocacy) Program
- Inquests
