Public Safety Government Partners
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is committed to contributing
to safe and sustainable communities. We are proud to be part of the Government
of Canada public safety agenda.
As one component of the larger criminal justice system, CSC collaborates
with a number of agencies and departments at all levels of government.
CSC works closely with its partner agencies in the Public Safety and Emergency
Preparedness portfolio, particularly the National Parole Board and the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Citizen Engagement
Community participation takes many forms. CSC works with a broad range
of both community groups and individuals.
Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC) members are an important link between
CSC and the community. They help build public understanding and support
for CSC's role in community safety and provide CSC management a community
perspective on operational and policy decisions. The role of CACs is enshrined
in the Corrections and Conditional Release Regulations (section 7). |

Community Partners
CSC considers establishing positive and reciprocal relationships with
Canadian communities a necessary prerequisite to support public safety.
Most offenders will eventually return to the community. Upon their release,
whether at the end of their sentence or via parole, successful reintegration
requires the support of citizens and communities. To that end, the CSC
is committed to engaging community partners and working collaboratively
for safe and vibrant communities. |

Volunteers
Approximately 7,000 Canadians, from all walks of life, volunteer at CSC
- helping in our institutions as well as in the community. Volunteers
contribute to a variety of institution-based programs including chaplaincy,
recreation activities, classroom and workshop instruction, social events
and cultural activities. In the community, volunteers support families
of incarcerated offenders and help released offenders re-adjust to life
in the community. |
