This morning we welcomed Amanda from Restorative Justice for an update!
Restorative Justice is as busy as ever, the youngest client is 8, the oldest is 89!
There is also a spike in receiving individuals with greater mental health issues, which is allowing individuals to be recommended towards proper treatment and support!
It is also wonderful to hear that some youth programs are expanding in the schools and gaining more traction as better options to being involved in the court system.

This morning we had two guests, George Nun from the Chilliwack Civil Air Search and Rescue and Judy B, who was keeping Barry B in line. Welcome Guests!
We were to hear from George today, and we did briefly, but due to some technical difficulties he is coming back next week to give his whole presentation with visual aids. We look forward to welcoming George again on November 13, along with our wonderful Key Club members.

The meeting ended with Happy Bucks and Birthday wishes to Arley, Joene, Eunice, Leslie, Judy N and Judy B! We all hope you have wonderful birthday celebrations!
