Justice Programs
WTCI is proud of the expanding portfolio of Justice programs dedicated to promoting fair and proportionate justice while also seeking to change the experiences of our Wolastoqey communities and members in contact with the criminal justice system in New Brunswick. Our programs are designed to empower our 6 wolastoqey communities and incorporate our traditional Wolastoqey values of Justice. On this page, you’ll find details about our current programming and preview the exciting new initiatives we’re preparing to launch.
Programs
Wolastoqey Restorative Justice Program
The Wolastoqey Restorative Justice Program focuses on repairing harm, fostering accountability and supporting healing, rather than focusing solely on punishment.
Gladue Program
Gladue principles ensure that when an Indigenous person is charged with a crime, the court considers the negative impacts of colonialism and over-representation of Indigenous people in the Justice System.
Indigenous courtworker Program
The Indigenous Courtworker Program supports Indigenous individuals to receive fair and equitable treatment within the Canadian criminal justice system.
Legal Resources
With support from the New Brunswick Law Foundation, WTCI built a series of legal resources to support legal literacy within Wolastoqey communities. The 20+ resources include guides and advice for a variety of scenarios.
