from CLEO Connect:
Join CLEO for a seminar on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, from 10 am-11:30 am EST where Community & Legal Aid Services Program (CLASP) will share information about who can apply for a record suspension. Register today!
With a criminal record, it can be hard to get a job. A record suspension can remove the stigma that comes with a criminal conviction, allowing people to move on from their past and to more employment, education and volunteer opportunities in their future. People with criminal records can apply to the Parole Board of Canada for record suspensions to have their convictions removed from their criminal record. A record suspension used to be called a pardon.
CLASP will also explain the process, including what documents are needed and how to fill out forms. We hope to raise awareness of this opportunity to apply for record suspensions, and to provide tips on how to navigate it.
Speakers from Community and Legal Aid Services Program (CLASP):
- Steven Yu, Review Counsel, Supervising Lawyer
- Rebecca Bruni, Law Student
- Bianca Tarantino, Law Student
