15th Annual Presentation of the Ron Wiebe Restorative Justice Award
Restorative Justice Week-November 17-24, 2013
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/19/13 -- Last night at a ceremony in Toronto, Ontario, Correctional Service of Canada's (CSC) Assistant Commissioner of Correctional Operations and Programs, Fraser Macaulay, presented the 15th annual Ron Wiebe Restorative Justice Award to Ms. Gillian Lindquist, as part of the 2013 National Restorative Justice Symposium.
Ms. Lindquist reflects a new generation of young, dedicated and talented leaders in the field of restorative justice in Canada. Her hard work and perseverance has helped advance the use of restorative justice approaches within the workplace, academic institutions, and the criminal justice system.
"It is with great pleasure that I congratulate this year's Ron Wiebe Restorative Justice Award winner Ms. Gillian Lindquist. Restorative justice is a vital part of the correctional process and an integral part of CSC's mission," said CSC Commissioner Don Head. "I am proud of the role that CSC plays in recognizing this deserving Canadian and the contributions she has made to restorative justice."
Ms. Lindquist has accomplished much in the few years since she became the Program Coordinator with Restorative Justice Victoria, an organization that has flourished under her leadership. Her belief in restorative justice and her capacity for relationship building have facilitated the development of partnerships with many agencies, including the Attorney General's office, local Universities, and the Victoria Police, thereby increasing the use of restorative justice approaches in British-Columbia. Moreover, she has created and implemented a number of innovative, successful restorative justice models and programs, while actively promoting and enabling the evaluation of such programs.
Ms. Lindquist has shown a passion for teaching restorative justice by training university staff and students in restorative justice practices, as well as designing and instructing a 16-week online course for British-Columbia police officers. She is also part of a training team that teaches restorative justice to program volunteers and staff throughout the province.
Ms. Lindquist's integrity is astounding and ever present. She is an outstanding practitioner who inspires fellow practitioners to be their best, who shows compassion and wisdom in her work, and who lives restorative justice principles in her own life.
