PLEA gratefully acknowledges our primary core funder the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan for their continuing and generous support of our organization.
A health care directive is used when you cannot make your own decisions or tell people what treatment you want or do not want. A health care directive is sometimes called a living will. There are important things to know before making a directive.
The law sets out the requirements for making a valid health care directive.
Health care professionals can only follow your directive if they know you have one and what it contains.
If you choose not to create a health care directive, the law sets out who can make health care decisions for you when you cannot.
The Saskatoon and Regina public libraries are hosting free Law Fairs to help people learn about their legal rights/responsibilities and connect with legal information and support. In Saskatoon, check out the free screening of The Good Canadian presented by Legal Aid Saskatchewan. There's lots to see and do during the 11th annual Saskatchewan Access to Justice (SKA2J) Week!
