SUMMARY:National Virtual Town Hall by the African Nova Scotian Justice Institute
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the African Nova Scotian Justice Institute (ANSJI)\, you are invited to a National Virtual Town Hall to garner support for the development of a National IRCA™ Centre. The purpose of the National IRCA™ Centre will be to support the ongoing development of IRCA™ service delivery in each provincial and territorial jurisdiction. \nImpact of Race and Culture Assessments (IRCAs™) are pre-sentencing reports that help judges better understand how systemic barriers like poverty\, marginalization\, racism\, and social exclusion have affected offenders of African descent\, racialized\, and other overrepresented persons and their interactions with the justice system. Click here and here to learn more about IRCAs™. \nThis Town Hall will bring together Provincial\, Territorial\, and National organizations and individuals who support work within the intersection of race and justice in Canada. The Town Hall has four main purposes: \n\nTo inform participants about the idea of creating a National IRCA™ Centre\,\nTo assess if there is consensus for the creation of a National IRCA™ Centre\,\nTo use the feedback gathered from the Town Hall to inform the feasibility study that will be submitted to the Federal Department of Justice\, and\nTo nominate a member review Committee that will play a key role in reviewing and providing feedback on the development of the feasibility study.\n\nYour input will help shape this critical work\, and ensure that it reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of those working at the intersection of race and justice across Canada. \nTo accommodate participants across the country\, we will host two sessions. The first session will be held Tuesday\, February 11th\, 2025 at 1:00PM (AST) via Zoom\, and the second will be Thursday\, February 13th\, 2025 at 2:30PM (AST) via Zoom. Our hope is that you will be able to join the session that best fits your schedule. \nPlease RSVP by Monday\, February 3rd\, 2025 by clicking here and indicate your preferred session. Additional details including the agenda and the virtual meeting link will be sent closer to the session dates. \nWe are also asking for your participation in a short survey to gather your initial thoughts on the creation of a National IRCA™ Centre. Your participation in this survey is important in the gathering of information and data to inform the development of the feasibility study. You can complete the survey here.  \nPlease feel free to share this invitation or link to the survey (https://forms.office.com/r/ZiVthgY6AF) with other leaders who work in the areas of race and justice in Canada.  \nYour participation is crucial to the success of this initiative\, and we sincerely hope you can join us in this important conversation. \nIf you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Lindell Smith at Info@LindellSmithHfx.ca \n_____________________________ \nAu nom de l’African Nova Scotian Justice Institute (ANSJI) – (Institut africain de la justice néo-écossaise) – j’ai le plaisir de vous inviter à une assemblée générale virtuelle nationale afin d’obtenir un soutien pour le développement d’un Centre national des EIOEC. L’objectif du Centre national des EIOEC sera de soutenir le développement continu de la prestation de services des EIOEC dans chaque juridiction provinciale et territoriale. \nLes évaluations de l’incidence de l’origine ethnique et culturelle (EIOEC) sont des rapports pré-sentenciels qui aident les juges à mieux comprendre comment les barrières systémiques telles que la pauvreté\, la marginalisation\, le racisme et l’exclusion sociale ont eu des répercussions sur les délinquants d’ascendance africaine\, les personnes racialisées et les autres personnes surreprésentées\, ainsi que sur leurs interactions avec le système de justice. Cliquez ici et ici pour en savoir plus sur les EIOEC. \nCette séance de discussion ouverte réunira des organisations provinciales\, territoriales et nationales ainsi que des personnes qui soutiennent le travail à l’intersection de la race et de la justice au Canada. La séance de discussion ouverte a quatre objectifs principaux : \n\ninformer les participants sur l’idée de créer un Centre national des EIOEC;\névaluer s’il existe un consensus en faveur de la création d’un Centre national des EIOEC;\nutiliser les commentaires recueillis lors de la séance de discussion ouverte pour étayer l’étude de faisabilité qui sera soumise au ministère fédéral de la Justice; et\nnommer un comité d’évaluation des membres qui jouera un rôle clé dans l’évaluation et le retour d’information sur le développement de l’étude de faisabilité.\n\nVous avez été invité(e) à cette réunion publique parce que vous êtes un leader dans le travail à l’intersection de la race et de la justice au Canada. Votre contribution aidera à façonner ce travail critique et à s’assurer qu’il reflète les diverses perspectives et expériences de ceux qui travaillent à l’intersection de la race et de la justice à travers le Canada. \nAfin d’accueillir les participants de tout le pays\, nous organiserons deux sessions. La première session aura lieu le mardi 11 février 2025 à 13 h (HNA) via Zoom\, et la seconde aura lieu le jeudi 13 février 2025 à 14 h 30 (HNA) via Zoom. Nous espérons que vous pourrez participer à la session qui correspond le mieux à votre horaire. \nVeuillez répondre avant le lundi 3 février 2025 en (https://forms.gle/JYrqaFcQtZaZEqQw9) et indiquer la session que vous préférez. Des détails supplémentaires\, y compris l’ordre du jour et le lien vers la réunion virtuelle\, seront envoyés à l’approche des dates de la session. \nNous vous demandons également de participer à un court sondage afin de recueillir vos premières réflexions sur la création d’un Centre national des EIOEC. Votre participation à ce sondage est importante pour la collecte d’informations et de données qui serviront à l’élaboration de l’étude de faisabilité. Vous pouvez répondre à l’enquête ici.  \nN’hésitez pas à partager cette invitation ou le lien vers le sondage (https://forms.office.com/r/hXgwypkqMb) avec d’autres responsables qui travaillent dans les domaines de la race et de la justice au Canada.  \nVotre participation est cruciale pour le succès de cette initiative\, et nous espérons sincèrement que vous pourrez vous joindre à nous dans cette importante conversation. \nSi vous avez des questions ou des préoccupations\, n’hésitez pas à contacter Lindell Smith à l’adresse Info@LindellSmithHfx.ca.
