History

Established in 1998.

In 1998 — 1999 CCAT organized a ‘Train the Trainer’ (in Saskatoon) for the Prairie Provinces (AB, SK, MB) so those provinces could begin offering their own admin tribunal training. The project had multiple partners:

* CCAT contributed $ 5000.00 to pay for the meeting room and the trainer costs.

* BCCAT contributed its Foundations of Administrative Justice course materials and instructor manual, along with 3 of their instructors who trained the prairie instructors.

* AB, SK and MB tribunals (8 – 9 per province) partnered to pay the wages and expenses of 8 — 9 instructors from each province, who would take the Train the Trainer to become instructors for the Foundations course in their own provinces.
