Corporate Vision Best Dispute Resolution Training Provider 2026 – Saskatchewan Since October 2024, the Civil Procedure Rules have undergone significant changes in Canada, now including provisions that require family legal disputes to engage in alternative dispute resolution such as mediation or conciliation. This legislative shift means that the country now needs mediation more than ever before, and education in this field is in high demand. Enter CommonSense Mediation, a leading company striving to provide training, mentorship, and community to mediators across Saskatchewan. As CommonSense Mediation is named in the Canadian Business Awards 2026, we spoke with Administrator Demi Peters for more information. “We are different because we want to support individuals not only in resolving today’s conflict but also in developing the skills to succeed and help others in resolving their own.” For a decade, CommonSense Mediation has been on a mission to transform the experience of conflict by educating and empowering professionals across the industry.
