Restorative Justice Program of the Sunshine Coast

We provide restorative justice services to those who have been harmed those who have harmed and their communities and to raise community awareness about restorative justice by way of Community Justice Forums Peacemaking Circles and Dialogue Circles. We work within schools to introduce and renew learnings about restorative justice processes and how they can be used in the school setting. We started a 5-year project to establish restorative justice service hubs in more communities on the Sunshine Coast. The first one was set up in kalpilin (Pender Harbour.) Together with syiyaya Reconciliation movement and Diversity Sunshine Coast/ Resiliency B.C anti-racism working group we offered a series of workshops in a new antiracism-antihate education initiative. We partnered with the Foundry - a community and provincial -wide network of integrated health and wellness services for young people (ages 12-24) to begin a project to train youth-workers in how to use restorative justice practices in their daily work with young people.
