Restorative Opportunities Program

Offers people who have been harmed by a crime, either directly or indirectly, a chance to communicate with the offender who caused them harm. This is a post-sentence program in which participation is voluntary for everyone concerned.

During the meetings, participants are given the opportunity to tell their story, explain to the offender the crime’s physical, emotional and financial impact on their lives, explore unanswered questions about the crime and the offender, and participate directly in developing options to try to address the harms caused, where possible.
