As part of this year’s Open Government Week celebration, Justice Canada is hosting its annual virtual Open Doors at Justice event on Tuesday, May 17 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST.

The theme of this year’s event is justice research and open data—a milestone that is included in the Open Justice commitment in Canada’s upcoming 5th National Action Plan on Open Government. The event will focus on sharing Justice Canada’s work in this area and promoting open dialogue with the public, stakeholders and academics. In particular, the event will share insights learned from the 2021 Canadian Legal Problems Survey and the related series of Qualitative Studies on Serious Legal Problems.

Doris Rajan,  Director of Social Development, Institute for Research and Development on Inclusion and Society will be a member of the panel, discussing her research paper, Serious Problems Experienced by Diverse People with Disabilities: Western Canada – A Qualitative Study.
