About Innocence Canada

Innocence Canada is the only national Canadian non-governmental organization working to exonerate the wrongly convicted.
While Innocence Canada benefits from thousands of donated hours each year from lawyers and case reviewers we still need support to pay for experts, staff lawyers, testing evidence and keeping the lights on. We are fully funded by grants from private foundations and donors such as yourself.
