Currently we work or partner
with 10 other community organizations that help us with issues
such as HIV/AIDS, Hep C, Substance Abuse Issues, Spiritual matters,
Traditional Knowledge, and Job and Employment training. We are
always expanding our partnerships.

1.
Contact your Native Liaison, Elder or Institutional Parole Officer
to express your interest in the Section 84 process and the Aboriginal
Community Development officers for Section 84 will be contacted
on your behalf to arrange for a Section 84 consultation.

2.
Complete a letter expressing your desire to return to your home
community and submit the letter to your parole officer, Native
Liaison or Aboriginal Community Development officers –
Laura Baird or Monica McDowell. – Form letter is available
from your Native Liaison – However, a letter in your own
words is best. Include the line …”I am writing in
regards to Section 84 which states…….” (See
Section 84 below)

Sign the Section 84 Disclosure form available from your Native
Liaison or Aboriginal Community Development Officer and submit
that form to your Native Liaison or Aboriginal Community Development
Officer.

The Aboriginal Community Development Officer for your area will
present your letter to the community on your behalf and advise
you of the outcome. Your community is asked to respond to your
request in writing and the response will be presented to you
upon receipt. – Institutional Parole Officers will also
receive a cc copy of this response. A memo to file or Section
84 Community Assessment will be added to your OMS by the Aboriginal
Community Development Officer which documents your actions in
this process.

5. Once a response
has been received, you, the Aboriginal Community Development
Officer, Native Liaison, Parole Officer, and Community will
begin working together to develop positive plans for your release.

6. Section 84 is
a process driven by you – However, you must complete or
be in the process of completing your correctional plan, be eligible
for parole and have a home community which you are from.
