Restorative Justice

Restorative Practices Program 

Successful uptake of the Standard of Practice – Practicing Medicine to Eliminate Anti-Indigenous Racism requires support. We listened to concerns and built this program to be helpful, educational, and supportive for registrants to implement in practice.

The program falls under the Quality department because its focus is on education before discipline and quality improvement and personal growth as outcome over punishment. For serious concerns where an educational approach is not suitable, it is our responsibility to protect the public and hold individuals accountable using other processes.

Truth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action #23

This program is a response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Call to Action #22, as we center our approach on Indigenous practices and teachings.

Registrants are encouraged to connect with the program to work through any issues or concerns that occur in the context of medical practice.

Restorative Justice Approach to Complaints and Investigations

Restorative Justice emphasizes repairing or restoring relationships, fixing the damage, and preventing further harm from occurring. This approach is collaborative and engaging for all parties involved.

This initiative includes creating an open culture for receiving and addressing the complaints made by Indigenous patients.
