MÉTIS NATION OF ONTARIO

Published purpose

“The Métis Youth Restorative Justice Program” project will enable the creation of a Youth Diversion and Justice program and enhance overall systems capacity to deliver diversion and justice based interventions for Métis youth in conflict with the law. The program will be provincial in scope, trauma-informed and geared to youth who have had early police contact, have been charged with an offence, or are serving sentences in the community or in custody. The program will build staff capacity within the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Justice Program, engage with external stakeholders and partners to promote referrals to the MNO Justice Program, and raise awareness around distinctions-based access to justice for Métis youth.
