Justice
The UCCMM Justice Program was established in 1994 as an alternative to contemporary Canadian criminal justice regimes. It is based upon traditional Anishinaabe values and beliefs including the need for healing and reconciliation, prevention of future criminal occurrences, accountability for offender’s actions, and general reconciliation of offender, victim, and community.
The UCCMM Justice Program currently offers 12 programs to the six member First Nations and the off-reserve First Nation population in the District of Manitoulin.
The Department of Justice and the Ministry of the Attorney General co-fund four programs under the UCCMM Community Justice Program. These are the Diversion Program, Zoongaabwe-od Eshniig-jik Program (Youth standing tall and strong with their feet firmly planted in the ground), Gladue Program and Maamwi Noojmodaa Program (Let’s heal together).
The Ministry of the Attorney General funds the Bail Verification and Supervision Program, the Indigenous Youth Prevention/Intervention Program, the Enji-Dbaakniget (Court) Program, the Gladue Aftercare Program, the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Program, and the Bylaw Program.
The Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services funds two programs under the UCCMM Community Justice Program. These are the Indigenous Re-integration and Supportive Services (IRSS) Program and the U-Turn Program.
The UCCMM Justice Program is also a designated Indigenous Intimate Partner Violence Program provider by the Ministry of the Attorney General. Members of the six UCCMM First Nations ordered to attend a "Partner Assault Response Program" or those who voluntarily wish to attend may contact Paula Corbiere, Justice Manager, at (705) 377-5307 ext. 207 to register.
