President Report

ach day that our Association is open for business is a day that brings hope to the

lives of aboriginal men, women and families. One of the greatest challenges for the association continues to be the increased demand for services within the program’s operating budgets. We continue to engage with the provincial and federal governments on services that communities have expressed a serious gap in service delivery, in particular the need for family court coverage.

This year also saw an enhancement to the Native Courtworker operating budget in the form of a grant to address a number of outstanding issues such as salaries, training, new office furniture and computers and community consultations.

Department of JusticeThis year will finally see the conclusion of the summative evaluation of all Aboriginal Courtworker Programs across Canada. This evaluation assessed performance measurement systems, data collection practices and review of the judicial system stakeholders who work and support the work of Native Courtworkers. A federal audit was also conducted this year as a requirement of treasury board and we are confident to report, our Association came through with flying colours.

“Each day that our Association is open for business is a day that brings hope to the lives of aboriginal men, women and families.”

— Hugh Braker

Community Court

This year the Association was asked to consult with the Aboriginal community regarding the proposed Downtown Community Court. We engaged an Aboriginal Consultation Team which conducted over seventy consultations with Aboriginal service providers in the Lower Mainland area. These included community leaders and individuals involved with the criminal justice system, aboriginal and non-aboriginal service delivery agencies. They discussed the idea of a Downtown Community Court process, as well as problems experienced in Vancouver’s Criminal Justice System. The Aboriginal Consultation Team invited recommendations from the Aboriginal community representatives on how Downtown Community Court could best serve the Aboriginal Community and Aboriginal offenders.

In July 2008 Vancouver will open the doors to the new Downtown Community Court. The Downtown Community Court will bring together justice, health and social services. Our Native Courtworker will be a member of the Downtown Community Court team to ensure that the DCC handle all aboriginal participants in a culturally-appropriate manner.

Law Foundation of British Columbia

Our association has entered into a contract with the Law Foundation of British Columbia for the placement of 4 new Aboriginal Family and Youth Advocates over the next three years. These positions will be placed in Williams Lake, Surrey, Nanaimo and Victoria.

This project is aimed at providing direct services to our clients, and their families and to aid individual with families and ensure family reunification. The purpose of the Aboriginal Family/Youth Advocate positions is to provide protection services to Aboriginal women, children, youth, families and Elders from abuse and neglect and ensure their safety and well-being, and ensure they are heard and understood prior to and during the judicial process.

E

The Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of BC provides culturally appropriate services to aboriginal people and communities consistent with their needs. Our services are accomplished byassisting aboriginal people involved in the criminal justice system; providing access to counselling and

referral services for clients with substance abuse and detox support issues; advocate services forAboriginal family and youth.

President Report

Legal Services Society of British Columbia

This year, the association entered into a pilot project with Legal Services Society of British Columbia to participate in the interview and capture of eligibility and coverage information for criminal case applications, including related documentation and provide hands-on assistance in the legal aid application process. This pilot is specifically for circuit court coverage of Bella Bella, Vanderhoof and northern circuit court communities. The pilot concentrates on streamlining the application and approval process for legal aid applications in a timely fashion for a better delivery of court services. Our thanks are extended to our Native Courtworkers Les Taylor, Karla Olinek and Ellie Sellars for their participation in this pilot project.

“Trust Your Instincts” –A Guidebook for Women Who Work and Travel Alone

This year saw the development of a public safety guide designed for women who work and travel alone and for women who are entering the workforce for the first time, or attending school. This guide has been so successful, it has been reproduced three times to meet the demands of communities wanting copies.

Our thanks is extended to the generous contribution of the following sponsors; BC Hydro, ComPro Business Solutions Ltd., Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General

and the Royal Bank of Canada.

Our special thanks to all the women who contributed their stories to make this booklet such a success, and as a final note, to Darlene Shackelly, Executive Director, the researcher and designer of the booklet.

We extend our congratulations to Patricia Jackson, Youth & Family Advocate for the Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of British Columbia. Patricia was declared the Aboriginal Woman of Distinction by Today’s Woman for the 7th Annual presentation of the northern award. She received the honour during a banquet in Prince George, at the Coast North Inn, September 21, 2007. Patricia won this recognition for her tireless work in her community of Prince George.

Law and JusticeHugh Braker Tseshaht First NationNuu-Chah-Nulth,

Vancouver Island

With healthy youth, the original people of North America will have a healthy future. And that’s something Hugh Braker is doing one child at a time.

One of his law firm’s major interests is Aboriginal child welfare law while litigating for aboriginal rights has been the major issue his progressive law firm has been concentrating on.

Braker’s interest in the justice system started when he was a child when Aboriginal people didn’t have the right to vote. Braker remembers the injustices committed on the people in his Nuu Chah Nulth community, and he dreamed of correcting the situation any way he could.

He excelled in law school, moving directly into the thick of it as Director of Self-Government with the

Assembly of First Nations. He was the first male Nuu Chah Nulth lawyer in the country and the first BC First Nations lawyer to be made a Queen’s Counsel (Q.C.)

He moved back to his community and worked as staff lawyer for the tribal council for almost 10 years litigating and negotiating fishing and hunting rights and aboriginal child welfare instituting stronger family welfare and adoption practices. He opened his own practice in 1989 and continues to take great pride in volunteering as president of the Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of BC for 20 years.

Braker grew up with strong ties to his community. He believes Aboriginal values are distinct from non-Aboriginal values and as an Aboriginal lawyer, his focus is on the community at large. His clients see him as an Aboriginal person first who cares about his community and its future. Braker considers it his responsibility to see that children grow up safely, so he helped design customized contemporary justice methods that incorporate traditional belief systems. Braker is building a stronger community for all of us, one child at a time.

Celebrating ExcellenceThe National Aboriginal Achievement Awards (NAAA) were established to encourage and celebrate excel-lence in the Aboriginal community. NAAF created the Awards in 1993, in conjunction with the United Nation’s International Decade of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. The Awards recognize the outstanding career achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, in diverse occupations. Now entering their fourteenth year, these Awards have become a Canadian institution.

Regional Report- Northern Interior, North Coast and Lower Mainland

I thank you all for our successes each year. As a part of a management team we find it very difficult to single out individuals from a team of excellent frontline workers who commit themselves daily to provide a quality of service that is ‘above and beyond.’

Thanks to everyone who participated in our justice conferences and training. Your contribution has made a difference in our approach to service delivery and partnerships.

And thanks to all our Funders. Your belief in our organization has made NCCABC the leader in Aboriginal Justice Services and Lifestyle Enhancement Initiatives. Our thanks to the entire practicum placement from UBC, UVIC and VCC and we extend our best wishes in your future career choice.

Thanks to the Board of Directors and Darlene and Gord and our trainers for being great leaders.

Finally, a Special thanks to all those Elders who assist us to provide a better service to our aboriginal community.

Arthur Paul

Regional Manager

Regional Report- Northern Interior, North Coast and Lower Mainland

Each year brings new additions to our team of talented, experienced, team-oriented professionals who are

committed to quality client services. Once again this year is better than the last, which includes positive feedback from clients, partnering agencies and teammates alike about our skilled staff. We are very proud of our team.

Our Aboriginal Elders Support Program has been a success in our downtown area for our clientele and aboriginal women, young mothers and single parents. I like to take this time to thank the Elders and mothers for their continued support and referrals for the program. The Elders program graduates have taken the role in providing guidance and support. Thank you all who support the Elders Support Program.

The Public Law Articling Student program has created some excellent workshops on legal education for the downtown eastside population. The community has resources that have been around for sometime providing great service to our downtown eastside community. We realized that workshops could not be on just one topic. We had to open the floor up to questions of crisis and emergencies and develop real time solutions for clients to carry out as soon as the workshops were over

“Once again this year is better than the last, which includes positive feedback from clients, partnering agencies and teammates alike about our skilled staff. We are very proud of our team.”

— Arthur Paul

These types of open floor workshops were very successful and put the team through their paces, because they called for real solutions. We want to continue these types of workshops next year, we have found that they are the real question and solutions that meet daily crisis that the Downtown population needed, these are the workshops that are well attended and create an atmosphere of trust.

We are seeking to expand our Aboriginal Family and Youth Advocates. We have been researching and compiling data for additional Aboriginal Family and Youth Advocates throughout the Province. We have received great reviews of the service our existing Family Advocates are having and the support we are receiving for additional Advocates. We hope to have the new Aboriginal Advocate program start at the

beginning of the year. Thanks to each of you who support the Family and Youth Advocate program.

We are seeking to expand our Alcohol and Drug program in Surrey. We have met with the community and funders to see if we can reinstate the services that we once had in 1996. The Alcohol and Drug Counselling service we offered to the Aboriginal Surrey community was four Alcohol and Drug Counsellors and one receptionist. We are hoping with your help to re-establish that service to Surrey. Let us hope together next year we can offer this essential service to the community. We are promoting the 50 Powell team of services model as outlined in the following paragraph with one additional service and that is the Detox Support program.

Our model of service at 50 Powell consists of Native Courtworkers, Detox Support, Alcohol and Drug Counsellors, Family Advocates, Youth Courtworker and Elders Support Service. All of the above service could not have been developed without the support and reports from the Native Courtworkers, who are the main foundation of the NCCABC, without their help and submission, we could not provide the enhanced service that we provide today.

Regional Report- Southern Interior/South Coast

We cannot complete this report without mentioning the dedication and hard work of our staff. Without their support and enthusiasm, many aspects as to who we are could not be realized. As Management and Board of Directors, we really do appreciate and acknowledge the efforts of my staff: Pam Scorah at Cranbrook, Jack Kruger at Penticton, Margaret Snow at Vernon, Rae-Anne Saskamoose at Kamloops and Beverly Quilt at Williams Lake. In the South Coast: Les Taylor at Port Hardy, Sylvia Bradt at Bella Coola, Boyd Gallic at Port Alberni, Georgia Colclough at Campbell River and this past year our new staff members Trisha Pantell at Nanaimo, Tisha Colbey at Duncan, and Shane Johnson at Victoria.

Lastly of course is the new office space at Nanaimo. We have gone from a small one room space to a large five room office. There is individual office space for myself, the Courtworker, the Family Advocate, an area for reception and a room for meetings. We are already making plans at how we can bring in more services to be the central island’s one-stop service centre. We had a grand opening in April with some head office staff and local resources attending.

Thank-you for another good year! Gord EdwardsRegional manager

Regional Report- Southern Interior/South Coast

n 1978 at Duncan BC, there was a need to create a Justice Program for Aboriginal Youth. A group of us got together to

discuss what could be done. There was Bob from Probation, Rory from the Crown Counsel’s office and Calvin with the Native RCMP. We also had representation from the Cowichan Band Office plus full support from our local Judge, Lance. Within three months we had developed and started running the “ Cowichan Youth Diversion program “ this was a volunteer effort till such time the NCCABC applied and received funds to run it full time. We hired a lady named Theresa to run the program. We housed it in our Duncan Courtworker office, kept it cultural and ran it for a year. The program’s intent was to use the culture to build/support the self esteem of our youth of the time. We had a great success rate with a total of 90 clients for the full year and only one breached to return to court. We utilized First Nations resources to deal with First Nations Youth living in the Duncan area. The funding for this project then was a total of $18,000.00

A lot has changed from that time to now: the town has grown, court has expanded, people have come and gone, we all communicate by email and funding is a lot more challenging to obtain. Nevertheless, Justice Programs in our province are still been developed by aboriginal people for aboriginal people.

The Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of BC

“ Justice Programs in our province are still been developed by aboriginal people for aboriginal people.”

—Gord Edwards

has added more material to the success of our many efforts to better communicate, to be more visible, to train and to connect with more community resources and interest groups about the justice needs of aboriginal people of BC. The NCCABC responds to the many unexpected issues and situations that occur in our province when it comes to Aboriginal people and the Justice System. We have helped diffuse trouble when it occurs and with our past experiences, empower ourselves to play a more participatory role with justice solutions.

This past year our Association provided and participated in various events and projects: Community Court, Restorative Justice, Careers Fairs, Provincial Forums and National workshops. At our national gathering of Courtworker Programs in Edmonton we organized a provincial training workshop to coincide with the National training. We developed a Provincial training opportunity bringing staff in a few days early. In

addition to this past year we also had a very successful summer training program done at Osoyoos. At this gathering there was a lot to do, lots of work, great weather and great fun. Our Courtworker Jack Kruger at Penticton gave an informative tour to our staff at a local ceremonial lake – Thank-you Jack.

In this past year there have been four highlights :

In my opinion the best thing we did was the booklet “Trust Your Instincts” ( Thank-you Darlene- brilliant idea ). We have had a tremendous response for it. If you have not seen it yet then look for it at your local Courtworker office. You can also check it out at our web page. This is a booklet developed for women who travel and/or work alone with tips from many successful and thriving aboriginal Women in our Province.

The Second of course is the addition of the Family Advocate Workers. 4 of them in total each to be located at Nanaimo, Victoria, Williams Lake and Surrey. These Advocates will be situated at a Courtworker office. They help the client understand the Family Court process and the many forms that need to be completed. One of the assets to this program is the aid that the Advocate will have from a Supervising Lawyer at each of these locations. This will definitely make the service even more effective. We are excited with the additional staff that will provide help to aboriginal people at more Family Courts in British Columbia.

Provincial Trainer Report

he primary purpose of the provincial trainer role is to assist the Regional Managers

(Arthur Paul and Gordon Edwards) in the implementation of improved NCCABC standards. Secondary to this task was to relieve the managers of various duties to have them focus on the development of NCCABC programs. The Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of BC were asked by the Solicitor General and Public Safety Ministry to consult with the Aboriginal community regarding the proposed Downtown Community Court. From April to September 2007, the Aboriginal Consultation Team conducted over seventy consultations with Aboriginal service providers. These included leaders and individuals involved with the criminal justice system. We discussed the idea of a Downtown Community Court process, as well as problems experienced in Vancouver’s Criminal Justice System. The Aboriginal Consultation Team invited recommendations from the Aboriginal community representatives on how Downtown Community Court could best serve the Aboriginal Community and Aboriginal offenders.

The goals of the Consultations were:Compile educational information •for use with the Aboriginal community in the Downtown Eastside.Establish contact with the •Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal community;

Create and promote involvement •with Downtown Community Court Provide a final report to the •Ministry of Solicitor General and Public Safety.

Aboriginal people account for approximately 20% of cases going through Vancouver Provincial Court.

We hired a Native Courtworker position to cover the Downtown Community Court. It was the first opportunity to put a community hiring panel together for this position. It was also the introduction of a new hiring model developed by Darlene Shackelly. That technique is now used for every NCCABC position. Kevin Hill was hired by the panel and is being trained.

NCCABC Managers Meetings

Once a month, we attend Managers Meetings to discuss needs of staff and the Regional Managers. New job tasks are discussed at these meetings. If the regional manager needs help, I can offer my assistance. All of these various tasks are monitored by Hugh Braker and the Executive Director.

Downtown Community Court (DCC) Managers MeetingsOn Monday of every week all DCC managers meet to prepare for the opening of DCC. Discussions include the implementation of Kevin Hill and his place at DCC and ongoing relationships between NCCABC and DCC. I am the primary advisor to DCC on any Aboriginal based-training or discussions.

5 Year PlanningSince the 5 year planning committee commenced (2005), I formed a part of that team as a trainer. As the Provincial Trainer came forward, tasks evolved. A number of tasks have been completed and ongoing ones are always being updated.

Department of JusticeA contract with the Department of Justice (DOJ) was brought forward to the NCCABC. This contract was to help the DOJ in completing a survey that would be applied to a national needs assessment. It was my responsibility to create, test and

T

Provincial Trainer Report

report on a survey that impacts the Aboriginal Courtworker Program, through the Department of Justice. Twenty surveys were completed in the Greater Vancouver area and a report was submitted to them. I was then required to go to Ottawa and assist the Department of Justice with the Courtworker training on the survey.

Then the contract required 200 surveys to be completed in British Columbia and the task was completed and submitted on time.

Online TrainingI was asked to head the development of an online training course designed for court advocates. This originally came with the relationship with Pov Net. We are applying the NCCABC Courtworker Manual and Procedures Manual to information what will help create various courses online.

Regular meetings and discussions take place in order to help Pov Net designers put together a course that would satisfy NCCABC Board of Directors and any new students that would take the online training. The look of the NCCABC is the concern for the graphic designers and the content and practical usage.

We estimate that courses could be ready to test by the end of the year.

PROGRAM Managers Report- Vancouver Aboriginal Transformative Justice Services

Aboriginal Justice Strategy

With the new AJS in place, an additional emphasis is placed upon prevention measures, urban communities and youth were highlighted. VATJS began planning to implement new partnerships strategies, new prevention workshops and a renewed focus on youth needs within the community.

One of VATJS main function is to offer aboriginal people who commit offences, and those who are victimized, a meaningful and culturally appropriate alternative to the mainstream criminal justice system. During a Community Council forum – made up of trained volunteers from the Aboriginal community, an Elder, the victim and offender and their support people – participants discuss the offense, its effects, and the causes of the wrongful behavior. At the conclusion of the forum, a healing plan (or “disposition”) is developed with a goal towards making amends and reintegrating the victim and offender into the community in a positive way.

One of the gaps that were identified (2002) within the Aboriginal community, through VATJS process, was a need for housing placements. Almost 70% of healing plans identified housing as a mandatory component.

From this gap that was identified, VATJS now provides housing placement services within our program. This component provides a service not just to our clients but to the Aboriginal community within the Metro Vancouver area.

National Homelessness Initiative This aspect of our program provides housing placement, assistance in completing all low-income applications, advocacy, furniture placement, and housing list on a weekly basis. The initiative focuses on addressing the needs of at-risk and/or homeless clients and community members in need of general assistance. Drop-in is available on Thursday and Fridays at our VATJS office.

In addition to providing housing needs, VATJS will be hosting a Homelessness Resource fair, where all agencies who provide services to our community will be setting up a booth’s , speakers throughout the day related to homelessness and information sharing to the community.

BC Housing

VATJS was selected to provide a innovated program to address the homelessness needs of our Aboriginal brothers and sister who reside on the streets of Metro Vancouver area. The Aboriginal Homelessness Outreach Program provides our community with the ability to deal with homelessness in our own unique way.

This program will have a team approach, involving partnerships with Vancouver Police, Vancouver Native Housing, MCFD (Employment and Income Assistance Office), and Elder, and the VATJS outreach team. This unique team will provide a service that will go to our clients rather than our clients coming to our service.

With the team approach, at least twice a month, and our outreach workers out daily,

VATJS will provide a unique, integrated, holistic approach to our clients on the streets of Metro Vancouver.

VATJS Staffing Highlights VATJS staff always has exciting new opportunities that come into their lives. Our temporary Justice Coordinator, Nancy Carleson has completed her contract with VATJS and will be completed April 2008. Nancy has been an excellent asset to our team, and has touched many of our client’s lives through her work; VATJS was honored to have her as part of our team.

Deana Mitchell will be back from her maternity leave starting in April 2008 and Kimberly Graham has rejoined our VATJS team as our Aboriginal Homelessness Outreach worker.

Another new addition is Joleen Price; she has a criminology background, with lots of work experience with victim and offenders. Joleen has taken Jason Burnstick position in working with our youth, Jason has left VATJS to pursue his singing career, we miss him but wish him the best of luck.
