FACL

Thank you for visiting the website of the Federation of Asian Canadian Lawyers - Ontario Chapter (“FACL Ontario”). In 2007, FACL was founded in Toronto by a small group of Asian Canadian legal professionals, many of whom remain active and provide guidance through our Advisory Committee.

We are united by a common interest in promoting equity, justice and opportunity for Canadians of pan-Asian origin, in both the legal profession and the wider community.

In a very short time, FACL has come a long way. FACL’s conference has drawn 350 participants from across Canada, and FACL Ontario has over 850 members. FACL chapters In British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec and Nova Scotia add hundreds more members.

We welcome you to join us as a member. If you have interest in becoming active in FACL, you are welcome to contact us at communications@facl.ca, or reach out to a member of our Board.

Brendan Wong
President, FACL Ontario
