AJEFS’ French Legal Information Centre of Saskatchewan provides services and resources in French in collaboration with numerous legal, government and community organizations.

The French Legal Information Centre has been made possible thanks to the financial support from the Department of Justice Canada through the Access to Justice in Both Official Languages Support Fund, an initiative of the Action Plan for Official Languages 2018-2023: Investing Our Future and the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan.
