"That's how they gain access to the things we all want access to - health care, housing, and employment," said Shawn Stewart, program coordinator for the organization's regional chapter.
Stewart said the university's law faculty supplied a grant for the initiative, and the mission has "stepped up" to help with the program as well.
"It's not only the problem of getting these IDs, it's keeping these IDs," said Stewart, who explained the mission will hold any identification for people to them safe.
Pro Bono Students Canada is in 22 of 23 law schools in Canada, and the Windsor Chapter alone has 113 participants.
"It's the highest amount of students we've ever had and they're working on 39 projects in the community," said Stewart.
The event will be held at the Downtown Mission at 664 Victoria Avenue, on October 25 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
该组织地区分会的项目协调员Shawn Stewart说:“这就是他们如何获得我们所有人想要获得的东西——卫生保健、住房和就业。”
斯图尔特说,该大学的法律学院为这项计划提供了一笔赠款,该项目也“加强”了对该项目的帮助。
斯图尔特说:“这不仅是获取这些id的问题,还包括如何保存这些id。”他解释说,这项任务将为人们提供安全的身份证明。
在加拿大的23所法学院中,有22所都有加拿大公益性服务学生,而温莎大学的学生有113名。
“这是我们所拥有的学生数量最多的,他们正在社区进行39个项目,”斯图尔特说。
这一活动将于10月25日下午5点至8点在维多利亚大道664号举行。
