Court operations
Wearing a mask at B.C. Courthouses is a personal choice. Within a courtroom, masks are also a personal choice unless directed otherwise by the presiding judicial officer.
To reduce the need to physically attend the courthouse, the court registry accepts filings through Court Services Online, mail or fax.
