EXTRAJUDICIAL SANCTIONS (EJS) PROGRAM

The EJS Program is a diversionary program for youth aged 12-17 (at the time of the offence). Extrajudicial Sanctions allow a youth charged with a low-risk offence to take responsibility for their offence, without being sentenced by a judge. An agreement will be made with the youth to complete the specific sanctions. If the sanctions are completed satisfactorily, the charges will be withdrawn.
