The Courts are itinerant, sitting in various locations across the country to reach Canadians wherever they are. Consequently, CAS must be able to support members of the Courts in preparing files, conducting hearings and writing decisions “anywhere, anytime.” CAS support for judicial and registry services is tailored to the particular needs of each of the Courts, while CAS acts as a provider of common corporate services to the Courts.
Court and registry services are provided in every province and territory through a network of thirteen permanent offices and agreements with eight provincial and territorial courts. The two locations in Ottawa are headquarters to the Courts. The main regional offices are in Vancouver, Toronto and Montréal, and local offices are located in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Québec City, Halifax, Fredericton and St. John’s. In 2018–19, 678 full-time equivalents provided services to the Courts.
