Call for Presenters
Restorative Justice Association of BC (RJABC) is excited to host its 2nd Provincial Restorative Justice Symposium (PRJS). PRJS seeks to offer engagement and learning opportunities for restorative justice programs, practitioners, advocates, and justice partners in building capacity for victim-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive restorative justice approaches.

Application deadline April 26, 2024 with interviews to be conducted between May 8 and June 5, 2024.
