In recognition of Restorative Justice Week, happening the third week of November, Salt Spring’s Restorative Justice Program invites the community to an information session on how restorative practices are helping transform community safety, justice and conflict resolution.
The event takes place in the Salt Spring Public Library program room on Thursday, Nov. 28 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. People are asked to register to attend by emailing info@rjssi.org.
For over 25 years, Restorative Justice Salt Spring Island has offered an empowering, community-based program to address crime, conflict and harm in our community. Through restorative approaches, trained volunteers help those who have caused harm to take accountability and make meaningful amends, supporting both individuals and the community to heal. This work can repair relationships and help keep cases out of the criminal legal system, fostering a more respectful and connected community for all.
In addition to supporting individuals who seek to repair harm, the program also provides services to help neighbours, community members and organizations resolve conflicts in constructive and peaceful ways.
Join us at Thursday’s event to learn more about restorative justice and its impact on Salt Spring. Hear real stories of change, meet our dedicated volunteers and discover ways you can get involved in building a more restorative community.
Feel free to email us at info@rjssi.org to get on our mailing list or visit the rjssi.org website for more information.
