Manitoba’s Access to Justice Week 2026 will take place from October 26 to 30. This year’s programming shares the national theme, “What Works, What’s Next.”

Hosted by the University of Manitoba Faculty of Law, the Law Society of Manitoba, and the Manitoba Bar Association, the week brings together legal professionals, advocates, service providers, and community members to explore current access-to-justice issues. All events are free and open to the public.

The program includes a virtual panel on the legal issues facing trans people in Canada, with particular attention to Manitoba; a bilingual discussion of ongoing efforts to improve access to justice in French; and an in-person Sweat Lodge Ceremony in Sagkeeng First Nation, accompanied by an optional pre-learning session.

Together, the events offer opportunities to learn about current legal and community initiatives, consider barriers to justice, and explore what meaningful and inclusive access to justice can look like in practice.
