The Justice System Education Program for Indigenous Peoples provides legal education to Indigenous peoples across British Columbia, through a culturally attuned lens, with the goal of building their legal capability. The educational content is targeted to participants’ needs—whether they are youth, adults, Indigenous, or non-Indigenous—and incorporates the audiences’ prior knowledge and the issues that are relevant to them.

Participants gain a deeper understanding of the BC justice system, their rights and responsibilities, and reflect on the perspective that they bring to BC’s legal system. Through education on the law, participants gain a better understanding of how to address legal issues they may encounter in their daily lives.
