Mission, Vision, Values
Our Vision

reconciliation for men in the justices system and
their families through advocacy, education and
restorative justice.
Our Mission
To provide anti-oppressive and anti-racist services of discharge planning, transitional housing,
rehabilitative programs, and trauma-informed care for victims, former offenders, and their families, by
the promotion and enabling of healing and reconciliation for those in our community affected by crime.
The Bridge was a breath of fresh air … I was treated as a human being and not looked down on because I had a record … In jail I was constantly reminded I was ‘less than’. The Bridge has been a steppingstone to help me reach my goals.
