Extrajudicial Sanctions (EJS)

This program provides community-based post-charge sanctions, outside of the formal judicial proceedings, where a young person cannot be adequately dealt with by police caution, warning or referral to a community program because of the nature and number of offences or any other aggravating circumstances. Young persons, aged 12 to 17, alleged to have committed an offence, who accept responsibility for participation or involvement in the commission of the offence are eligible. The young person has been informed of their rights to counsel, been given a reasonable opportunity to consult with counsel and having been informed of the EJS, freely consents to participate in an Extrajudicial Sanction. Funded by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services.
