Restorative Justice Week
November 15-22, 2020 is Restorative Justice week in Canada and around the world. Please refer to the links below to learn more about the important work being done to bring about hope, healing, truth and reconciliation. “Restorative justice is founded on a vision of justice that heals and restores. It is based on an understanding that crime is a violation of people and relationships and that justice is served when those most directly involved in an offence are given opportunities to redress the harm caused.” (CCJC website)
