Indigenous Criminal Courtwork Program

The Indigenous Criminal Courtwork Program assists accused offenders to better understand their rights, options and responsibilities when appearing before the courts, through the guidance of a Courtworker. Indigenous Courtworkers are not Lawyers and do not give legal advice. Priorities for Courtwork are advocacy at the time of bail and sentencing for accused Indigenous people.
​
Our FENFC Courtworker is in bail court in St Catharines on Mondays and Thursdays, and in criminal courts on most other days but can be easily contacted at 289-697-4768.
