As part of this project, the organization will be creating a legal services center called La Source. La Source will provide listening, legal advice and support to anyone who has suffered sexual harassment in Quebec, regardless of his or her work industry. In an effort to empower people and with intersectional considerations, La Source will rely on a network of external lawyers to meet the specific needs of different vulnerable populations. Thus, applicants may, at their discretion, decide to meet with a staff lawyer from Juripop, or an external lawyer whose profile corresponds better to their experience and to their needs.

The organization will set up a Workplace Sexual Harassment Hotline with a toll-free number staffed by a lawyer and deliver a series of twenty-five workshops across Manitoba on sexual harassment in the workplace. The staff lawyer will be able to identify/clarify the sexual harassment claim; identify the issue(s); identify the audience, language and jurisdiction issue(s); and offer an early assessment of the facts/narrative. During the triage process, the staff lawyer will make the appropriate referrals to agencies, prints and other resources and, if appropriate, provide legal information and advice. Also, a webinar will be developed since the workshops will not reach everyone in Manitoba.
