The Restorative Justice Program provides dispute resolution reflective of the historical, and cultural values of the Anishinaabeg.
MCFN (Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation) believes that members need an alternative to the mainstream Justice system that is designed to focus on a community response to repair the harm done.
The process and outcomes will be geared towards reconciliation, facilitating closure, and healing.
The outcome will be unique to the individuals and designed to help build a stronger, safer community.
The process is guided by the Seven Grandfather Teachings, the teachings encompass the beliefs, morals and values of the Anishinaabe people.
What we can help with:
- Restorative Justice Circles for Criminal, MNRF and Non-Criminal matter
- Healing Circles
- Conflict resolution
Restorative Justice examines the impact of conflict on relationships and communities. It attempts to repair the harm done by holding all parties who caused it accountable for their actions.
We are all a sacred part of creation with individual and collective responsibilities.
We all have our own journeys, our own lives, and our own experiences.
We come together to acknowledge and address concerns or harms to understand and work toward a solution and reconciliation.
The goal is to improve competency and understanding of the effects of the action taken.
