Training for Community Workers, Advocates, Librarians – CRT & Strata Issues

Do you help the public in your work? Do you ever get asked questions about strata problems? Wondering what resources are available for clients involved in a strata dispute or looking for strata information?

Sign up for this free webinar:

March 22nd, 1-2 pm PST – CRT Chair Shannon Salter presents: Introducing the Civil Resolution Tribunal: Strata Dispute Solution Explorer

What does the CRT have to do with strata disputes?

In this 1 hour webinar, Shannon will explain what the CRT is, the extent of its jurisdiction (what kinds of disputes it can hear), and how the Solution Explorer fits into the dispute resolution process. If you help members of the public in your work, you are invited to come and learn about this new model for civil justice, designed to increase access to justice.

The CRT opens this year. The first stage is the launch of the Strata Dispute branch of the “Solution Explorer”. The Solution Explorer will be the first phase of the dispute resolution process where users are guided to useful information, problem diagnosis and self-help.  Self-help can include tools like templates, calculators or checklists that will help prepare users to take steps toward resolution in their strata issue.

We hope you can join us. Register today!
