About Innocence Canada
Innocence Canada’s team of pro-bono and in-house staff lawyers are currently reviewing approximately 100 claims of innocence.
In the years since its inception, Innocence Canada’s team of volunteers and staff lawyers have reviewed hundreds of cases, leading to the successful exoneration of 30 innocent people who together spent more than 300 years in prison for crimes they did not commit.

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.
