Where our data comes from

This directory compiles publicly available information about restorative justice services in British Columbia. It is not a vetted or accredited list. Here is exactly where each listing came from, and what we did and did not check.

In short

We gather program information from public government and association registries and present it in one searchable place. We do not accredit, screen, inspect, or endorse any program listed here. Inclusion in this directory is not a recommendation, and the fact that a program is missing does not mean it is not legitimate. Always confirm details directly with the program before relying on them.

A public map of Indigenous Justice Programs across British Columbia, funded through the federal Indigenous Justice Program and Indigenous governments.

MCFD offices and regions, and the BC Government Directory

1 listing
Published by Government of British Columbia · Retrieved July 24, 2026

Youth probation team locations are compiled from the BC Data Catalogue open dataset of MCFD offices (addresses and coordinates) combined with the BC Government Directory (team names and phone numbers). Only offices with an explicitly named Youth Justice or Youth Probation unit are listed.

What we checked Most MCFD offices are child and family services offices and are excluded. Some integrated youth teams may also house youth probation officers without being publicly labelled as such, so this list may be incomplete. Contact the provincial line if your community is not shown.

1 listing

The federal victim–offender mediation program available to people harmed by a federally sentenced crime. In British Columbia it is delivered in partnership with Fraser Region Community Justice Initiatives.

Keeping listings current

Public registries go out of date, and so does this directory. Programs can claim their listing to manage their own details. Those listings are marked Program-managed, meaning someone from that program maintains the information, not that we have assessed the program.

Anyone can find a program and use the "Suggest a correction" link on its page to flag something wrong. Corrections are reviewed before being applied.

The Find Help assistant (AI)

The "Ask" box on the directory is an AI assistant. It answers by searching the listings and background articles described on this page, then summarising what it found. It does not browse the web or draw on outside knowledge, and it links to every program it mentions so you can check the source yourself.

AI-generated summaries can still be wrong, incomplete, or out of date. Treat its answers as a starting point, confirm anything important directly with the program, and note that it cannot give legal advice. Your questions are processed by Google's Gemini API and stored for up to 90 days so we can review answer quality. See the Privacy Policy for details. Please don't type names or other personal details into it.

In an emergency, call 911. This directory is not a crisis service.
