|
The United Chiefs and Councils of Mnidoo Mnising (UCCMM) have entered into a funding agreement with the Department of Justice Canada to operate the UCCMM Community Justice Program.
The UCCMM Community Justice Program provides pre- and post-charge diversion and advice on sentencing to youth and adult band members, both on- and off-reserve, located in the Manitoulin District. The objective of the Program is to employ traditional law principles of accountability, healing, and making amends in order to develop a plan of action for offenders who have accepted responsibility for their offences. The Program also delivers a twelve-session victim empathy program that incorporates Anishinabe justice principles and approaches.
