New Indigenous Justice Centre in Nanaimo offers culturally responsive services
NANAIMO — A long vacant heritage building in Nanaimo’s downtown transitioned to what looks nothing like a traditional law office.
It was done by design.
Occupying the Great National Land Building at 17 Church St. is one of five new regional Indigenous Justice Centres (IJC) operated by the BC First Nations Justice Council (BCFNJC) to open this year.
Since January, complimentary legal, outreach and referral support services have been provided at the Nanaimo location.
