Vision

Sudbury District Restorative Justice is a community-based organization that uses relationship building as a powerful tool for crime prevention and reduction.

Crime is an offence against human relationships. Our entire community is affected when a crime is committed. Those who were harmed need the opportunity to come together and decide how to repair the harm, as well as restore those relationships that enable the return to a healthier life.

In March of 1997, members of the Sudbury community began meeting to look at alternative forms of justice for victims and offenders. The formation of a steering committee, comprised of members of the legal community and law enforcement, representatives of the City of Greater Sudbury, community service providers and concerned members of the public, followed.

Mission

Sudbury District Restorative Justice’s mission is to enable the victims, accused and the community to resolve the efforts of crime and conflict
