Purpose:
|
The South Island Wellness Society has entered into a funding agreement with the Department of Justice Canada to manage the South Island Aboriginal Restorative Justice Program.
The Program will deliver prevention, pre- and post-charge diversion, alternative measures and corrections supervision to First Nations/Aboriginal community members residing within the Greater Victoria area. The primary objective of the Program is to provide holistic services to those in contact with the justice system while maintaining high standards and cultural appropriateness in delivering the services. This objective will be accomplished by working to educate the community on prevention initiatives and facilitating community justice forums for diversions, alternative measures, self referrals, and seeking Corrections, RCMP, Crown and court referrals.
