The Corrections Branch encourages public involvement. Some people have contracts with the Branch to provide different services. It might be operating a residence for offenders, or supervising offenders doing work for the community. Other members of the public work as volunteers in one of our adult centres. Whether they play basketball, help with arts and crafts, or just talk, offenders appreciate the time volunteers spend with them.
Conflict starts in the community, and community involvement is necessary to resolve it.
The Corrections Branch welcomes people who want to help us in this challenging work. Community Service Chris went to court after he drove his car over the lawn at the local community centre. The judge found him guilty of Damaging Public Property because his car had torn up the grass. This was the first time Chris had been in trouble with the law. The judge ordered him to do fifty hours of community service.
