Purpose:
|
The Fisher River Cree Nation has entered into a funding agreement with the Department of Justice Canada to operate the Ochekwiwanasowewin Restorative Justice Program.
The goal of the Ochekwiwanasowewin Restorative Justice Program is to lower the participation rates of members of Fisher River Cree Nation in the mainstream justice system through diversion, mediation and intervention, utilizing community-based and culturally appropriate approaches. Pre- and post-charge diversions are managed by the Community Justice Coordinator with support from the Community Justice Committee and other social support networks in the community.
