The annual series co-hosted by the USask College of Law Centre for Research, Evaluation and Action Towards Equal Justice (CREATE Justice) and Law Society of Saskatchewan will be held Oct. 23-27, with events in Saskatoon, Regina, and online.
“Access to justice is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right,” said CREATE Justice director and Access to Justice co-ordinator Brea Lowenberger. “Let's work together to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, can access the justice they deserve."
The week’s events involve justice stakeholders and organizations throughout Saskatchewan and aim to engage communities in conversations about improving access to justice, and highlight initiatives working to improve justice for Saskatchewan residents.
Media are invited to attend:
Cadmus Delorme, former Chief of the Cowessess First Nation.
Oct. 23, 2023, noon.
MLT Aikins Lecture Theatre (Room 150) College of Law, University of Saskatchewan.
