Summary
-
The Church Council on Justice and Corrections (CCJC) is a Canadian coalition of faith-based individuals and churches advocating for a more humane way to practice criminal justice. In collaboration with the Correctional Service of Canada, the CCJC conducted workshops in four Northern Ontario communities as part of a âTaking Responsibilityâ? project. In each community, the workshop consisted of afternoon and evening sessions. The afternoon session, entitled âTaking Responsibility â Restorative Justice and Corrections in the Community,â? focused on the general public and those working in criminal justice. The evening session, entitled âTaking Responsibility for Healing Justice â Restorative Justice in the Faith Community,â? aimed at church congregations. This summary report on the workshop project covers the following: the project itself; community profiles; and key things learned from the project.
