The province announced 10 additional B.C. First Nations Justice Centres over two years

The BC First Nations Justice Council council is welcoming premier David Eby’s Safer Community Action Plan as it includes the addition of 10 new Indigenous Justice Centres over the next two years.

One of those concrete steps is the opening of new Indigenous Justice Centres to provide culturally appropriate support for Indigenous Peoples involved in the justice system to address the root causes of their involvement in the system and help them break the cycle. She said the BCFNJC remains steadfast in its commitment to reforming colonial justice and child welfare systems, and Eby’s announcement is an enormous step in the right direction.

Legal services offered at Indigenous Justice Centres have focused on criminal justice and child protection advice and representation while also facilitating client connections to supports such as housing, mental health and addictions treatment, culture-based healing, and employment services.
