Changement systémique éclairé par les principes Gladue pour s'attaquer à la surreprésentation des Autochtones dans le système de justice pénale ; Ce projet pluriannuel permettra d'identifier et de mettre en oeuvre une initiative communautaire basée sur les pratiques culturelles traditionnelles afin de s'attaquer aux obstacles systémiques et à la discrimination auxquels sont confrontés les autochtones au sein du système de justice pénale traditionnel. L'accent sera mis sur la réalisation d'une évaluation des besoins qui comprendra la consultation de personnes ayant été touchées par le système de justice pénale et de professionnels du système de justice pénale.
