Webinar – Restorative Justice

This webinar will explore the concept restorative justice and consider potential applications in the Canadian approach to assess, prevent, and address environmental racism.

Restorative justice is a concept that seeks to repair harm. It provides an opportunity for those harmed and those who take responsibility for the harm to communicate about and address their needs. In Canada to date, principles related to restorative justice have mostly been considered in the context of the criminal justice system. However, it can serve as a useful model to apply in the context of environmental harm that prioritizes relationship building and repair for affected communities.
