The roots of the Society can be traced back as early as 1937, when a young lawyer by the name of Harry Waisberg opened his practice in Sudbury. Waisbergs dreams were finally realized in December of 1960 with the inception of the Sudbury affiliate. The issues facing the Society have changed very little throughout the course of its history. The problems and debates surrounding violence in society, crime, funding for these important projects and the availability of proper programs are, even today, still at the forefront of the Societys concerns. Without the ongoing assistance of the countless volunteers, members of the community, and the dedicated staff and directors of the Society , we would not be able to continue in our mandate.
