Purpose:
|
The Ku We gahn Justice Program serves four First Nation communities with a population over 1,600. Under this program, local justice councils have been established in each of the communities. Local justice councils operate pre and post charge diversion programs. The primary model used is family group conferencing using a traditional circle format. Referrals come from individuals, community members, RCMP, and the Crown. Victim consent is required before referrals are accepted and the program employs a victim services worker. The development and delivery of a reintegration program will be considered under the Justice Program.
