Who We Are

Substance, Scope and Outreach

We do this by providing a safe, unbiased and confidential forum in which to seek out truths, root-out errors, eliminate inconsistencies and reconcile misunderstandings. We make provisions to meet the needs of underserved communities at greater risk of being the next victims of injustice and oppression.

What We Do

Our Purpose and Mission

Our purpose is to bring people and justice together. We fulfill our mission through our offering of innovative service streams, designed to meet the growing needs of rural and isolated communities across the nation.

How We Do It

Human Rights-Based Conversations

Besides ensuring the fairness, effectiveness and affordability of our dispute resolution processes, our goal is to deliver caring, compassionate and comprehensive services to all our distinguished clients. Our hybrid protocols place much emphasis on the unique needs and expectations of a diversity of peoples, for whom the experience of resolution may include components that go beyond the monetary aspects of the matter.

Why We Do It

Violence and Discrimination Free Communities

Disputes of any kind can have devastating consequences on the health, wellbeing and socio-economic stability and viability of those involved in such predicaments. Thus, early intervention and prevention of high risk conflicts and disputes is at the very heart of our strategies, plans and customized protocols, which focus on managing variances, but also purpose in helping our clients identify and interrupt negative patterns, and trigger healing, recovery and balance.

Family and Community-Centric 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 Service

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 Service

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.
