Meet Our Team
Donna Langille, Executive Director
I was born in Nova Scotia many decades ago & came to PEI in 1970. I graduated from UPEI in Psychology (1973) and have taken lots of other training in various areas since then. I started at CLIA on a project in 1994 and I am still here.
I live in the Bonshaw hills on St. Catherine's Road with my husband of 30+ years, several four-legged family members and whatever assortment of the 3 offspring (all grown up) in residence at the time.
My love for, and commitment to, CLIA has never wavered in the past 16 years and I am very proud and happy to work with this organization. I think we have a wonderful team that can help to improve access to justice for our whole Island community.
Kelly Robinson, Program Coordinator
My passion and background are in social justice issues, including sexual violence, family violence, youth empowerment, and the advocacy and support of persons with intellectual disabilities. I have a Masters degree in Theory, Culture & Politics, and a B.Sc., Hons. in Psychology. I am currently serving on the Board of Directors of the PEI Rape & Sexual Assault Centre.
I live in Charlottetown, where I grew up, but have recently lived in Peterborough, Fredericton, and I was born in Corner Brook. My "children" are two exceptional cats, Rigel and Silas, and a bossy little budgie named Po.

Ann Sherman, Project Staff
I am now retired following a lifetime of employment in the non-profit sector. For over 20 years CLIA provided me with challenging work that I grew to love. I counted myself blessed indeed to be working in an area (access to justice) that became a personal passion. In my retirement I have continued working on projects for CLIA, I am a Human Rights Commissioner and I am active in the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty and the Canadian Paraplegic Association.
