CJI provides restorative justice-based support groups and conflict resolution services for youth and adults who have been charged with, or committed, offences. Referrals can come from police officers, probation and parole officers, lawyers, judges, family members, and individuals.
We believe the people who have offended can take responsibility for their actions, repair harm done, restore relationships, and experience healing.
The Victim Offender Reconciliation Program (VORP) and the Youth Restorative Justice Program (YRJP) offer opportunities for people who have been charged (or who could be charged) to take accountability for the harm they caused through a restorative process led by CJI facilitators.

Women leaving Canadian prisons are frequently isolated from caring supports. They often struggle to form trusting relationships and are stigmatized by society.
CJI’s helps women in prison build informal networks of support that assist them as they reintegrate back to the community. We also prepare the community to receive them safely and supportively.

During our 40+ year history, we have continuously responded to community needs by creatively, and innovatively applying restorative justice principles to new problems. We believe the only limit to the power of restorative justice is the capacity of the human heart to change and grow.
