National Restorative Justice Symposium
Representatives from community organizations, policymakers and restorative justice practitioners gather annually at the National Restorative Justice Symposium (NRJS) to share innovative approaches and to promote the use of restorative justice to address crime and conflict.
On November 20 and 21, 2023, the Restorative Justice Association of Manitoba (RJAM), with the support of the National Restorative Justice Symposium Planning Committee, will host the fourth virtual edition of the Symposium. This year’s theme is Inspiring Innovation: Moving Restorative Justice from Margin to Mainstream. For more information:
