Indian Youth Friendship Society

The Thunder Bay Consolidated Courthouse was designed with an Aboriginal Settlement Conference Suite (ASCS) to support justice-involved Indigenous people who are navigating the courts, in a culturally appropriate way. IYFS will hire an Indigenous Peoples’ Court Coordinator (“Court Coordinator”), whose main role will be to assist with the continuing development and implementation of the Indigenous People’s Court using the ASCS in Thunder Bay. Indigenous Elders will be recruited to work in tandem with local judiciary to facilitate healing for youth and adult offenders.
