Restorative Justice through the
Peace Circle Initiative

With an eye to community safety through community building, Frog Hollow is partnering with the Hastings Sunrise Community Policing Centre and Dr. Evelyn Zellerer of Peace of the Circle to build a Restorative Neighbourhood here. This will introduce Peace Circles as an alternative to police and courts and lawyers to help resolve local conflicts and disputes among citizens before resorting to those systems. We have trained staff to facilitate Peace Circles to create solutions person to person, by speaking and listening with each other, with supports from our staff. We will be the first Restorative Neighbourhood in Canada.
