Join us for a one-day, community dialogue forum bringing together voices from across the criminal justice system, education sector, Indigenous communities, advocacy organizations, and post-secondary institutions to explore the critical links between incarceration, literacy, and equitable access to education in BC.
Hosted by the BC Criminal Justice Association and the John Howard Society of BC, this event will feature storytelling, panel discussions, and collaborative sessions focused on identifying gaps and co-creating culturally safe, community-informed solutions.
All who work at the intersections of justice, education, and social change are invited to take part. Admission is free with light refreshments provided.
