Downtown Community Court Final Report
The NCCABC was asked to consult with the Aboriginal community regarding the proposed Downtown Community Court. From April to September 2007, the Aboriginal Consultation Team conducted over seventy consultations with Aboriginal service providers. These included leaders and individuals involved with the criminal justice system. We discussed the idea of a Downtown Community Court process, as well as problems experienced in Vancouver’s Criminal Justice System. The team invited recommendations from the Aboriginal community reps on how the proposed Court could best serve the community and Aboriginal offenders.
