EVENTS AND INITIATIVES RELATED TO RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

(RECENT AND UPCOMING)

A Follow-up Survey to "Achieving Satisfying Justice:

A Symposium on Implementing Restorative Models" held in Vancouver, British Columbia,

Introduction

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) and Saskatchewan Justice collaborated during the summer of 1997 to compile the following resource list of initiatives pertaining to restorative and related approaches to justice. The project's objective was to provide the participants of The Canadian Congress on Criminal Justice (Congress '97) and other interested parties with a resource list of recent and upcoming activities relating to the emerging fields of restorative justice and alternative dispute resolution.

Some of the events and initiatives in this compendium were inspired by "Achieving Satisfying Justice: A Symposium on Implementing Restorative Models" which was held in Vancouver in March 1997, while others were already in their planning and development stages. We have attempted to include only recently completed, new, or upcoming activities, and have tried to avoid duplicating those initiatives already ùidexed in other compendiums such as "Satisfting Justice" .

This resource list is not exhaustive. The scope of the research was limited to information provided through a survey of individuals who attended the "Achieving Satisfying Justice" Symposium. As a result, many relevant activities may not be included, nor is the document evaluative in nature. It is our hope, however, that this list will provide readers with a flavour of the various initiatives underway across the country, as well as a sense of the climate that is developing in this field. We have also included a few international events that came to our attention during the completion of the survey but no attempt was made to compile an extensive overview of international activity in this area.

We extend our thanks to summer student Jennifer Reynolds (CSC) and research consultant Wendy Stone (Saskatchewan Justice) who conducted the research for the project. Their efforts and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated. Thanks as well to Kimberly McNeill of the Restorative Justice Unit (CSC) for her capable adminstrative support.

In addition, we would like to express our gratitude to all of the people who shared their time and information. We also commend and applaud those individuals, communities and organizations who are working to advance and promote restorative justice approaches.

"I urge you to do two things during the coming few days. First, don't just do something. Stand there, hear each other out with respect, stretch your minds to listen to the experience of others, to question all your ssumptions, to open the way for truly new possibilities. But then, by all means, please decide to do something. I hope that by the end of this process, we will feel able to do something . . . . But let's make sure that what we do doesn't further entrench what's wrong with the current system."
