About RJPSC
The Restorative Justice Program of the Sunshine Coast is dedicated to offering alternative methods of justice to the traditional court system by promoting the use of restorative practices to address a variety of criminal and non-criminal offences, often involving youth and seniors. Restorative Practices maximize social justice for victims, offenders and the community, and minimize further harm caused by the offending behaviour, moving participants towards healing and building stronger, safer communities.
The program serves the entire Sunshine Coast from Port Mellon to Egmont. For more information, phone: 778.458.3111, email: rjpsc@eastlink.ca , and www.rjpsc.ca
