For media seeking information or documents at local courthouses, the first point of contact is the local counter staff.

Any media questions or issues that cannot be resolved by counter staff should be raised with local Managers of Court Operations (MCOs) in person at the courthouse. MCOs are designated local media contacts who will provide information and service, and facilitate access to documents and courtrooms. Counter staff and MCOs are not ministry spokespeople.

For on-the-record comment or information about ministry policies, practices, programs and positions, media should contact Brendan Crawley at 416-326-2210.
