Lack of resources can be a barrier to addressing legal issues, while having legal issues can lead to a lack of resources. Calgarians need the knowledge, resources and capability to understand and address their legal issues, and deserve a legal system that does not contribute to or cause poverty.

Enough for All has a working collaborative unique to other municipal poverty reduction strategies. The Justice Sector Constellation was convened to provide recommendations on ways that justice-serving agencies, governments and law enforcement may improve access to the legal system by low-income Calgarians. Since 2013, the Constellation has been working to implement those and other recommendations.
One notable project is the Poverty and the Law: Expending Perspectives module and it accompanying Instructor’s Resource, which uses a variety of individual and group activities to enable learners to meet the module’s learning outcomes.
Each lever of change links to one or more of the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Justice links to #27, #28, #30, #31, #33, #34, #38, and #55.
