This also means that healing partnerships must be developed within the offenders families and communities. W aseskun Healing Lodge is about to take an important step with Corrections Canada by signing Section 81. This agreement will mean that, instead of Indigenous offenders spending time in prison before coming to Waseskun, they will come directly to Waseskun after being sentenced. As a result, the offenders will be given an opportunity to start their healing process right away and stop the abuse cycle. W e must change our perceptions in order to see the truth.
