MBA TOWN HALL MEETINGS ON ACCESS TO JUSTICE ISSUES
The MBA Town Hall meetings brought together members of the public and the legal community to identify challenges in the justice system and offer solutions on how best to resolve them. If members of the public, the legal community and justice system workers were not able to attend one of the meetings, they were invited to send in their feedback in writing.

Participants were asked to consider the following questions:

• What is needed to ensure fair and timely access to the justice/legal system for all Manitobans?
• What improvements or changes should be made to our justice system, locally and province-wide?
• Does our community have adequate resources to meet the needs of our citizens?

The report and summary of the themes and issues that were identified by those Manitobans who took the time to make in-person comments or written submissions is now available. Click here for the report.
