19-069 - RFP for Design Consulting Services for MAG Justice Centres

The Ministry of Attorney General (MAG) is seeking to modernize the delivery of justice in the province of Ontario. Justice centres move justice out of the traditional courtroom into a community setting by bringing together justice, health and social services to address the root causes of crime, break the cycle of offending and improve community safety. Justice centres hold individuals accountable for their offences while connecting them to services that reduce the risk of re-offending. Central to the justice centre model is a commitment to better support victims and communities harmed by crime. Justice centres have been established in over 70 different communities around the world. These
centers have reduced crime rates, decreased gang participation and activity, supported frontline officers and service providers, and contributed to healthier and safer communities.

MAG seeks to establish justice centres in four (4) communities:
1) Toronto – Downtown east
2) Toronto – Northwest
3) Kenora, On
4) London, On
