Beginning April 1, 2021, management of B.C.’s Gladue report program will transition from Legal Aid BC to the BC First Nations Justice Council. “This transition is another step toward implementing our Indigenous Justice Strategy, which was drafted by Indigenous people for Indigenous people,” said David Eby, Attorney General. The BCFNJC will work closely with impacted individuals and Gladue writers to prepare reports for use in sentencing, bail, appeals, long-term offender hearings, dangerous offender hearings and parole hearings. Some of the factors considered in Gladue reports include the impacts of colonization and the Indian Residential School program, discriminatory policies, systemic racism, displacement, addictions, violence and poverty.
