Niagara Regional Native Centre

Indigenous Community Justice Program


Description
Provides an alternative to court for Aboriginal adults and youth that have acquired criminal charges.

Aboriginal accused have the option to apply to have their charges diverted (deferred) out of the courts and placed into the Indigenous Community Justice Program.

Once in the program, a Healing Plan will be jointly created between the participant and trained Community Council Members. The Healing Plan addresses the underlying causes that lead to the offence by establishing conditions the participant will be required to complete during the adjournment period.
Eligibility
