PLEA gratefully acknowledges our primary core funder the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan for their continuing and generous support of our organization.
Sometimes, people are unable to manage their affairs due to the effects of mental or physical disability. The disability may be a result of disease like Alzheimer’s. It could also be due to the after-effects of a stroke or other injury. The law in Saskatchewan allows the court to give some decision-making powers to concerned individuals.
If someone in your life needs a guardian or co-decision-maker, the first step is deciding if you want to become one. If so, you must apply to the court. This requires medical evidence that the adult is not able to make their own decisions.
There are rules about the type of decisions guardians and co-decision-makers can make. There are also accounting rules and rules about how decisions are made.
PLEA offers free online training on preventing and addressing workplace harassment.
