The Youth Justice Committee Program is an alternative to the court process for young persons aged 12-17 inclusive.

• Program offers the young person the opportunity to repair the harm that they may have caused to a person, an organization or the community
• Volunteers facilitate a restorative justice meeting with the young person, their supporters, the person harmed, and their supporters to talk about what happened, clear up any misunderstandings or questions, and decide upon how the young person can make up for their actions
• Once the agreement has been fulfilled, there is no further action taken. Should the young person not fulfill the agreement, they are returned to the referral source (police services or Crown Attorney) to be dealt with further

Everyone must agree to the sanction(s), which are tasks that the young person will complete, and can include:

• An apology
• Restitution
• Volunteer Work
• Donation to Charity
• Attending a program or presentation.

Programs are available at various hours depending on the season/service. Call for details.

• Accept responsibility for the actions that led to the charge
• Meet with a Youth Justice Committee and complete agreed upon "sanctions"
