Funds will help local John Howard Society assist qualified people navigating 'complicated and traumatic' system of record suspension, more commonly known as a pardon
Thanks to some recently received funding, the local branch of the John Howard Society is helping to remove the financial barrier for people who are seeking a pardon for a conviction to help them move on with their lives.
Having a dated conviction on their record can affect people in a number of ways, including making it more difficult to get a job or be approved for housing. The final step of the process involves talking about the offences and what steps the person has made to change their life for the better. The funding also allowed John Howard Society of Sault Ste Marie to add a part-time staff member to assist with the program.
