The Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General (Ministry) continues to support restorative justice community-based, pre-court diversion through the Community Accountability Program initiative. Restorative approaches are utilized throughout the Ministry, including victim services programs which facilitate victim participation in justice processes, as well as corrections programming and post-release/re-integration processes. The Ministry provides communities with Direct Access Program grants through the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch for local restorative justice initiatives.

Restorative Justice: Community Accountability The Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General promotes Restorative Justice approaches to crime through the Community Accountability Programs (CAP). These programs hold low risk, youth and adult offenders accountable for their actions, give victims a voice, repair the harm caused by an offence and help restore balance in the community. Grants of up to $2500 for ongoing activities are available each year. In 2005, 74 programs in communities across the province received funding.
