Ministry of Attorney General
Northern Virtual Counter (Courthouse Services) (New)
Citizens and lawyers with questions that they normally would have to attend a Courthouse counter for, can now click the Teams link and have a virtual session with court staff to ask questions for both Civil and Criminal matters and for both Provincial and Supreme Court. Currently, it is just a pilot and only for the North region. Clients click on the link, and will get the “we’ve let the person know you’re waiting” message that comes up in Teams. Audio only (call in) option is available.
