Most widely used approaches here are victim-offender reconciliation programs, circle sentencing, and family group conferencing.

Not so fortunate, sentenced to 18 months confinement in a provincial correctional facility and 3 years probation. Weekends: cc states all sentences are to be concurrent unless the trial judge specifies that they are to be consecutive, sentences under the provincial offenses act are to be consecutive unless sentencing judge specifies.
