Purpose

The City of Grande Prairie’s “Diversion First” Project aims to enhance the youth justice system’s ability to rehabilitate and reintegrate young people by increasing the use and effectiveness of out-of-court measures for less serious offences. The project will establish a coordinated diversion framework, a structured pathway that connects justice partners, outreach teams, schools, and community organizations to deliver meaningful interventions aimed at preventing youth from entering or re-entering the formal justice system.
