Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by Joy Fontaine, Todd Ducharme, Jonathan Rudin and Cliff Summers that first gives a brief history of their organization, now serving 70,000 Aboriginal residents in Toronto, Ontario. Legal programs provided are the Native Criminal, Family and Young Offender Courtworker program, the Native Inmate Liaison program and the Aboriginal Justice Counsellor Training Program. The Native Liaison Services program in Ontario and the Atlantic regions was recently discontinued by the Correctional Service of Canada, and the presenters feel this will deal a huge blow to the provision of legal services to Aboriginal people in Eastern Canada. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
