About this service
The ICJP is a program offered at the North Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre. The program is based on Indigenous concepts of justice and traditional teachings, these provide a meaningful alternative to the mainstream criminal justice system.
The ICJP uses a combination of the collaborative and restorative justice models, which are rooted Indigenous traditions. It focuses on taking responsibility for actions, healing, and in addressing root causes of crime rather than using conventional court ordered punishment approaches. When possible, the program engages clients in a healing process.
