The CLC Bulletin Board System (BBS)

The BBS is an electronic mail and conferencing system that is open to all community legal centres (CLCs) and their workers. It is a communication tool similar to an intranet that provides messaging (i.e. email) plus online discussion forums via folders, as well as an individual and group calendar function.

The BBS is accessed through the FirstClass^® software, which is provided free of charge to all CLCs by the National Association of Community Legal Centres (NACLC).

Each CLC employee is provided with a free BBS account that gives access to an individual email account and to CLC mailboxes and folders. NACLC also provides user support via phone and email 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Using the NACLC Bulletin Board System (BBS) in any way, constitutes an agreement by the user to the policies outlined in the BBS Fact Sheet below, as well as any amended policies that may come into effect in the future.
