Michelle McGregor
BC First Nations Justice Council Legal Advocate
Prince George
My front-line career started as a Housing Manager for the subsidized housing in Terrace in 2007. I then went on to work as a Social Justice Coordinator at the Penticton Women’s Resource Center from 2011 to 2012. In 2016, I was approached by my long-time mentor to come and work for her as the Poverty Law Advocate at Terrace District and Community Services. I spent three years there until a position in Kitimat opened to start a new Poverty Law Advocate Program. I spent two years building the program and working with a wonderful team. In April my grandson was born which helped our family to make the decision to move to Prince George. When the BCFNJC posted the position of Legal Advocate for their new Community Legal Centre in Prince George I knew this was my calling and I quickly applied. I have been a Law Foundation Advocate for the past 5 years and I love the Law Foundation and its programs as they have similar interests and passions as I have.
My passion and interests include helping marginalized individuals finding and retaining adequate and affordable housing and making sure they have access to justice. I want to help everyone to succeed in all they do one step at a time. I want to be a positive connection in the lives of everyone I encounter so that they can reach their fullest potential.
During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, three children, grandson, and family. I enjoy reading, taking walks in nature, camping, fishing, and I love crafting and repurposing items to bring them new life.
