Restorative Justice in Our Community

Restorative Justice is a system of criminal justice which focuses on the rehabilitation of offenders through reconciliation with victims and the community at large, as opposed to prosecution, punishment and/or incarceration.  This talk will give folks an overview of Restorative Justice in the province and the main work of the North Shore Restorative Justice Society (NSRJ) in our community. Included will be a brief history of Restorative Justice, it's connection to Indigenous ways of being and knowing, as well as information about the NSRJ’s other work with police and in schools. We also hope to have an experiential activity to showcase the work of the NSRJ in a more meaningful way. Bring your curiosity and your questions! This program is open to adults and teens.

She holds a Masters in Urban Studies from SFU where she focused on reconciliation as a municipal policy priority. Sioned has three young sons and feels grateful to live and work on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
