Who We Are
Repair the harm, Restore relationships, and Rebuild community
The Restorative Justice Association of Manitoba (RJAM) is a collection of organizations and people working together to advocate for increased access to restorative justice and restorative services in Manitoba.
RJAM envisions a Manitoba where restorative justice is the primary means for achieving equitable and effective resolution to conflict in our communities, courts, and corrections. We believe that a just society, in which all lives have equal value, is possible, and that three basic tenets of restorative justice – repair the harm, restore relationships, and rebuild community – are central to meaningful movement forward.
