CREATE Justice supports collaborative approaches to justice system improvement through research, facilitation, convening, knowledge mobilization, and partnership development. Our work connects people, ideas, and evidence to support meaningful and sustainable change, helping turn research, relationships, and shared learning into collective action. Through leadership roles within the Saskatchewan Access to Justice Network and advisory work with the Action Committee on Access to Justice, CREATE helps advance access to justice conversations, research, and collaborative action across Canada.

CREATE Justice coordinates the Saskatchewan Access to Justice Network, a province-wide collaborative that brings together organizations and individuals to advance access to justice through shared learning, innovation, and collective action.

Working Collaborative Leadership Primer

Using Interdisciplinary Strategies for Person-Centred Justice System Improvement

The Working Collaborative Leadership Primer explores collaborative leadership, systems thinking, reflective practice, and interdisciplinary approaches to justice system improvement.

Developed through CREATE Justice's collaborative work and informed by discussions at the 2026 Dean's Forum on Access to Justice, the Primer offers practical tools and strategies to support collaborative leadership and systems change. An early draft of the Primer was presented at the Action Committee on Access to Justice's 2026 national conference in the workshop The Architecture of Change: Building Systems that Learn and Adapt.

The primer will be available for download soon. 

Share your feedback

The Primer is intended to be a living resource that continues to evolve through practice, reflection, and collaboration. We welcome feedback from anyone interested in collaborative approaches to justice system improvement. 

The feedback survey will be posted here once it is available. 

Building capacity for collaborative action

CREATE Justice explores how relationships, trust, shared purpose, knowledge-sharing, and collective action contribute to systems change and justice system improvement.

Through research, partnerships, leadership development, and collaborative initiatives, we support evidence-informed and people-centred approaches to improving access to justice.

For more than a decade, CREATE Justice has supported research, partnerships, innovation, and collaborative action to improve access to justice in Saskatchewan and beyond.

Through collaborative networks, student engagement, public education, interdisciplinary partnerships, and policy initiatives, CREATE has worked alongside organizations across Canada to advance meaningful change.
