We are so happy to share an article that highlights Catherine Bargen and Aaron Lyons’ work in partnership with Peace of the Circle! Together the team has been exploring the benefits and strengths of restorative justice, and are looking ahead to how it can influence, inform, and complement Vancouver’s justice system. This article speaks to the history, vision, and promise of the Building Partnerships for Restorative Justice in Vancouver initiative. In alignment with restorative justice principles, the process brings diverse stakeholders together, sharing and diversifying power, and collaborating across communities and systems. We are honored to be part of the initial stages of this important community development process with the leadership and continued stewardship of Peace of the Circle.
