CREATE Justice celebrates 10 years

This year's Access to Justice Week coincides with the 10th anniversary of CREATE Justice.

Over the past decade, CREATE Justice has worked alongside community partners, justice organizations, governments, researchers, students, and members of the public to advance access to justice through research, collaboration, education, and innovation.

As part of this year's theme, Access to Justice in Action: What Works, What's Next, CREATE Justice will be reflecting on 10 years of collaborative efforts to improve access to justice in Saskatchewan and beyond while looking ahead to future opportunities for research, partnership, and action.

Saskatchewan Access to Justice Week is a spinoff of the “Putting the Public First” topic that was addressed by participants at the 2016 meeting of the Dean’s Forum on Access to Justice and Dispute Resolution (the Dean’s Forum) 

Participants at that meeting identified that a provincial strategy must use multiple vehicles and approaches to engage different communities facing access to justice barriers.

Saskatchewan Access to Justice Week is one way to get different communities involved in the conversation. 

The week provides opportunities to:

• Engage new and diverse voices in the access to justice conversation; and

• Highlight initiatives that aim to improve access to justice for Saskatchewan residents.
