Premier David Eby says five new Indigenous Justice Centres set up in B-C over the past year will help make the legal system work better for Indigenous people.
Eby says a total of nine centres across the province will connect more people with culturally safe legal supports and services.
He says the province is working with the First Nations Justice Council to build safer communities and help change lives.
Eby says B-C must do things differently to break a cycle in which Indigenous people comprise five per cent of the population but about 30 per cent of people who are incarcerated.
