Saskatchewan sets a week to focus on access to justice

Saskatchewan’s Access to Justice Week runs October 25–31, 2026. Its theme, “Access to Justice in Action: What Works, What’s Next,” focuses on practical approaches to meeting community needs.

Current initiatives include:

• $3 million for Court Modernization Project improvements, including courtroom technology, infrastructure, safety and security, and the J-STAR system in the Court of King’s Bench.
• $170,000 this fiscal year to make the Child Support Service a provincially funded program. It helps parents obtain or update child support amounts at no cost and without going to family court.
• Free legal resource fairs with Saskatchewan libraries and the Law Society of Saskatchewan.
• Two new municipal bylaw courts serving Rosthern, Fort Qu’Appelle and surrounding areas.
• Four new Court of King’s Bench associate judges and three new Provincial Court judges.
• Support for families using dispute-resolution services outside the court system.
