John Howard Society of Waterloo-Wellington

This program provides adults (18 years and older) who have been charged with a minor criminal offence, an alternative to the normal court process while still being held accountable for their charges. The Crown Attorney must approve all program referrals. All participants are required to complete appropriate sanctions, which might include a letter of apology, completion of a relevant program, a charitable donation, volunteer work or some other agreed upon sanctions. Other sanctions may include referral to educational workshops relating to Anger Management, Substance Abuse, Problem Solving and Stop Shop theft.
