AIRJA is a platform for Indigenous communities, practitioners, and allies to share their experiences and connect with others in a context of cultural safety. This forum is dedicated to developing a support network focused on culturally relevant RJ services. The relationships forming this past year with Alberta Justice, First Nations, the Metis Nation of Alberta, Metis Settlements, mainstream agencies and restorative practitioners are a testament to the many communities working to address the disproportionate representation of Indigenous peoples in the social and criminal justice system. This province-wide engagement initiative would not have been possible without the continued participation and support of the Stakeholders and people who participated in the online and in-person engagement sessions this past year.

On behalf of the AIRJA Stakeholders, we’re pleased to share that Alberta Justice has awarded a grant for continuance.
