10th anniversary of the Action Committee’s Roadmap for Change
2023 is the 10th anniversary of the Action Committee’s Roadmap for Change. This foundational document has guided our work and the work of many of you for the past decade, by identifying the access to justice crisis in Canada and providing a concrete roadmap for a people centred approach to justice. On this important anniversary, we are embarking on a broad consultation process to seek your input and guidance on how a national A2J committee of leaders can best serve you. This process starts now, with a comprehensive survey of all of our A2J partners. We would appreciate your participation in the survey, which will take you approximately 5 minutes. Your answers will shape our approach to tackling the next 10 years!
