Commissioner's update for offenders and their families: May 26, 2025
As of last Friday, Canada Post workers started a legal strike action. For the moment, this means that they stopped working overtime. As a result, mail delivery will continue but could be delayed. To stay connected with your loved ones, I encourage you to use the phones, as well as video and in-person visitations, if possible. You may want to stay apprised on any additional developments that could affect mail service.
In February, I highlighted the success of the Wildfire Safety Program in the Prairie Region. I am happy to share that the program will return this summer and will expand to Ontario, starting with Joyceville Institution and Collins Bay Institution.
The 5-day course will provide the skills and knowledge to safely and effectively combat wildfires. The growing impact of the climate crisis is increasing the frequency, size, and severity of these fires.
If you are interested in this training or other valuable CORCAN opportunities, please reach out to your case management team.
What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
