Join Heather Barnhouse, Partner in our Edmonton office, as she explores women in leadership and entrepreneurship, and the ecosystem that supports them. In episode 57, Heather is joined by China Sieger, Program Director for Peace Regional Restorative Justice, and Ray Yellowknee, Manager of Justice and Public Safety for Bigstone Cree Nation. In part two of our series on restorative justice, our guests demonstrate how this community-based approach encourages personal responsibility and agency.
In this episode, China and Ray shine a light on the philosophy of restorative justice and clarify how it is implemented at the local level. Further, they discuss the future of this approach in Canada and identify obstacles that those working in the field hope to overcome.
