Purpose:
|
A 2 ½ day symposia will be hosted in Wallaceburg, Ontario for 50-60 Aboriginal and mainstream judicial and enforcement professionals from Sarnia-Lambton and Chatham-Kent counties. The event will provide information and awareness of emerging practices related to the over-representation of Aboriginal peoples in the justice system. As well, a resource kit describing best practices related to race issues in the justice system will be developed. It is expected that the project will increase understanding of race related issues and solutions for Aboriginal victims and perpetrators in the justice system.
