Connection to community is essential for urban Inuit to thrive, and Tungasuvvingat Inuit is that primary connection. It is important to offer programming and services that are easy to access, community-based and culturally relevant. We invite you to review the many programs available free of charge for urban Inuit in Ontario and contact us for more information on accessing these services.
Pisiksik Justice Department (PJD)
PJD provides support for Inuit clients in contact with the criminal justice system, those at high risk of entering the system, or have previously had contact with the system.
Restorative Justice Program (RJ)
Restorative Justice is a way of handling crime that aims to help people get connected to culturally appropriate programs and services, build a network of support, and work towards making things better. It does this by bringing together the person that did wrong, the person who was harmed, and the community, to find ways to heal and make things right. We have created this Restorative Justice Program that helps Inuit in Ottawa, Ontario. This program offers support and resources to Inuit adults who have been involved in criminal activities.
The Gladue Program
TI’s Gladue Program ensures that Inuit offenders have the opportunity to present their story to the courts of how they became involved in the criminal justice system following a guilty plea or a finding of guilt.
