Aboriginal Justice Program

Conflict inflicts harm. Through this program, individuals must accept responsibility for harm they have caused and work towards repairing this harm. Through our program, we bring together victims, offenders, and the community to take part in developing and implementing solutions that are beneficial to those affected. Our clients include youth and adults from both the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities. 

Our goals are as follows:

• to administer an Alternative Justice Program for people in Prince Rupert and the vicinity by incorporating cultural, restorative and holistic approaches;
• to promote the Program within schools and public agencies;
• to reduce the number of people in the court system and in detention centres;
• to reduce the recidivism rate; and 
• to provide advisory services in relation to sentencing for the courts.
