Staff

The Community Justice Centre is volunteer-powered. We have more than 60 trained volunteers who participate in restorative justice resolution conferences as administration coordinators, case coordinators, facilitators, and panel members. Volunteers also help with other areas of running the centre including general administration, communication, events, and special projects.

Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization.

The Community Justice Centre works in partnership with numerous local organizations who help guide our work, assist with conflict resolution when warranted, and collaborate on community education. We thank our community partners for their collaboration.
