Innocence Club at The University of Waterloo
Innocence Club UW (ICUW), is a student-led organization at the University of Waterloo. ICUW was influenced by the Innocence Canada Foundation, a non-profit organization that consists of pro bono lawyers and passionate individuals with a mission to exonerate the wrongfully convicted, as well as reform the criminal justice system to prevent future injustices in Canada.

Who We Are
The purpose of this club is to create an environment where members are welcome to discuss the systemic inequalities that are taking place in our criminal justice system and take action to reform this ongoing situation through fundraising and social awareness. Our club will do so by hosting seminars with criminal defence lawyers in the KW area, as well as run fundraisers that will donate its proceeds to Innocence Canada. The money raised will support both the exonerees and their financial needs, as well as the organization as a whole. ICUW is open to anyone interested in law and activism!
