As September 30, 2023 falls on a Saturday, the Manitoba Courts will observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Monday, October 2, 2023, and will not be sitting on that day.
The Great Library’s physical space will be closed for the day, but we are still open virtually and available by email at library@lawsociety.mb.ca for legal help and research.
Please be advised that there will be a swearing-in ceremony for The Honourable Marianne Rivoalen, Chief Justice of Manitoba on Friday, Sept 29, 2023. The library will be closed from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. After hours service for the legal profession can resume at 5:00 p.m.
Please note other upcoming closures:
Monday, October 2 – Truth and Reconciliation Day (Courthouse closed)
The library will be closed on Friday, April 7th for Good Friday and Monday, April 10th for Easter Monday. Regular hours will resume on Tuesday, April 11th.
Beginning on March 7th, repairs and replacements to the overhead lighting in the Great Library will begin and continue for several weeks.
There will be construction scaffolding erected starting in the south area near the entrance. There will be limited access during this initial phase of repairs. Access will improve as the project progresses north away from the entrance.
Access to books, computers, and work space will be restricted during this time. Please see staff if you require resources during this time.
The Manitoba Law Library would like to acknowledge with gratitude that we are situated on Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
