ATIKAMEKWSIPI - CONSEIL DE LA NATION ATIKAMEKW: federal grants and contributions

Through this project, the Council of the Atikamekw Nation is proposing the implementation of new intervention programs designed to support the administration of extrajudicial measures and probation for Atikamekw youth. These programs, based on the principles of restorative justice, will be culturally appropriate, safe and include wilderness camps. Finally, the involvement of the family (family council), the elders (council of elders), other service providers and the victim will contribute to raising the youth's awareness about their offending behaviour.
