Speaking the Truth 
About Justice
Justice is the place of equilibrium and balance in which we first dwelt before the experience of suffering, injury or damage. In this primitive state of perfection, we had no enemy to fear, no evil intentions to contend with, no ignorance of things ahead, no pain to manage, no death to grieve, no want of love or affection, and no lack of food or clean water to drink.

To say the truth about Justice, as the expression of our original state of perfection, we never really fell from it. To find our way back to it, we must stay the course of life, and choose to cross over the cold place, if we want to rediscover our passion and enjoy the true essence of happiness. 
Putting People and Communities First
As proponents of holistic systems, which put the interests of people and communities first, we believe that the time has come to cross over the cold place, of indifference and separation that has become part of our mainstream culture, and to give serious consideration to the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of justice, and the role they can play in promoting full spectrum healing, recovery and realization in people, places and power structures.
Service Accessibility Measures
We are delighted to inform you that we now offer lower rates and special incentives for non-governmental and non-profit organizations working to support the health, wellbeing and socio-economic stability and sustainability of underserved or at-risk communities and their members. These measures aim to promote better access to fair, effective and affordable dispute resolution services for all Canadians. 

What to Expect

Comfort and Privacy
Unlike traditional court proceedings, which are typically open to the general public, alternative dispute resolution sessions and hearings, and their resulting settlement agreements and decisions, usually remain private and confidential, which is beneficial for working through complex or delicate issues involving sensitive personal or commercial information.

Community Services

Faciliation

The community is full of complex and delicate questions. Facilitation sessions are perfect for working through or debriefing some of the ugliest battles that communities may face in their daily endeavors. This service is open to community representatives and executives, and their personnel or members, conducting business under federal or provincial jurisdictions in Canada. Topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to; human rights issues, matters of consultation and accommodation, jurisdictional issues, funding frameworks and policies, public and private service contracts, employment contracts, and a wide range of issues in the workplace.

Mediation

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential, and informal process in which a neutral third party, the mediator assists disputing parties in reaching a mutually acceptable settlement of their issues. The core purpose of mediation is to facilitate communication and help the parties generate their own solutions, rather than having a decision imposed upon them by a judge or arbitrator.

Conciliation

Communtiy-Based Conciliation is a process for helping disputing parties work through their issues by way of an informal, voluntary, confidential and non-adjudicative process that typically results in a settlement agreement which is binding on the parties. The conciliator is a neutral third-party, who is impartial and independent. The conciliator’s role is to provide disputing parties with a fair and equitable process in which to prevent the escalation of their matter, manage variances and reach a fair and reasonable settlement. The Community-Based Conciliation service is appropriate for dealing with a broad-range of issues involving private, corporate or commercial matters.

Neutral Investigation

Neutral investigation is a confidential and non-binding administrative process, designed to meet the operational needs and requirements of an organization, in terms of assessing and mitigating risk related to cases of misconduct, including psychological and sexual violence or harassment in the workplace.

Arbitration

Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution where a neutral third party hears evidence from all sides and renders a final and binding decision. This process is typically private, less formal, and often faster and less expensive than traditional court litigation.
