The Community-based Justice Fund is a grant offering $42,000 to each of the 204 First Nations in BC to advance their justice goals. The Fund is offered through two streams:
Stream One focuses on developing diversion-focused justice plans, advancing community engagement, and advocating for ongoing funding.
Stream Two aims to strengthen existing or new justice programming, promote self-determination and enhance justice system capacity to support community objectives.
Communities are using the Fund to advance justice goals in their territory and exercising their self-determination to address the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in the justice system.
