Community-based justice services to Inuit peoples in Nunavik are at the heart of Makivik Corporation ’s Makivik Justice Program. @Makivik_Corp
This program helps to address overrepresentation in the criminal justice system by offering culturally adapted approaches that emphasize healing for individuals, families and communities and address the underlying causes of crime.
The Makivik Justice Program’s alternative justice processes help offenders understand their behaviour and its impacts on others. This helps to reduce their risk of reoffending and contributes to lowering the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in the justice system.
To further help address the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in the justice system in Canada, Makivik Corporation will also undertake regional engagement with stakeholders to help inform the development of an Indigenous Justice Strategy.
Today, the #GC announced over $2.22 million to Makivik Corporation to help support this important work.
