BC Corrections’ Indigenous Programs and Relationships section was created in 2008 to guide us into building and strengthening relationships with Indigenous peoples, understanding the value of culture and its role in healing and learning new ways to meet the needs of Indigenous clients.

BC’s 10 correctional centres located throughout the province house individuals at secure, medium, and open classification levels.
Individuals whose risk assessments based on prior criminal history and/or institutional behavior deem them to require a higher level of supervision supported by structure and physical restrictions.

BC Corrections wants to make a difference in people’s lives, and we are committed to helping them change their thinking and behaviour

We help individuals gain education and work skills, access culturally appropriate services and plan for their future success
