<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Community Justice Initiatives (CJI) of Waterloo Region has a long and rich history of providing restorative justice programming. CJI is credited with starting the first victim offender mediation program in 1974 and since
that time have innovated restorative responses to situations of conflict, crime, and abuse.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">CJI has recently begun implementing a strategy to transform our community to use restorative practices as a primary response to conflict and wrongdoing. We are working to create a restorative region where restorative
practices and processes are infused into broad municipal systems that impact the entire community. To do this, CJI is influencing the systems in which we live to become restorative rather than punitive. This includes working with municipal governments, police
departments, schools, retirement homes, social services, and businesses to have a discussion about restorative practices, provide training and learning opportunities about restorative practices to the public, and to assist people to utilize restorative justice
in their everyday lives. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">CJI is building a plan to involve community members and services to create a transformative peace initiative where instead of punishment, our community will offer restorative responses first. We hope to inspire others
to become restorative regions and cities, and discuss ways to build momentum on a national level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
