Welcome to the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) Web site on ethnocultural issues. We are pleased to provide you with information on the management of offenders belonging to ethnocultural minority groups and on the correctional programming for their successful community reintegration.

Success in starting afresh depends partly on personal initiative and partly on the opportunities the community at large provides. This Web site is one of our communication tools dedicated to the sharing of ideas, best practices and knowledge. Please take advantage of it and contact us. You can share your innovative and creative ideas and achievements with us. Heritage Canada has contributed to the development of this Web site.
