What is Access to Justice Week?

Saskatchewan Access to Justice (SK A2J) Week is an annual event that engages communities across the province in a conversation about improving access to justice. Many justice stakeholders and organizations throughout Saskatchewan are proud contributors to the week.

The establishment of the 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 for engagement of different communities facing access to justice barriers.

The Saskatchewan Access to Justice Week is one vehicle and approach to engage different communities in the access to justice conversation. 

The week will provide 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.
