Victims and Survivors of Crime Week projects provide an opportunity to raise awareness about victim issues and about the programs, services and laws in place to help victims and survivors of crime and their families.

The organization is dedicated to the development and delivery of educational programs for all federal, provincial, and territorial judges. The Institute's programs stimulate continuing professional and personal growth and reflect Canada's cultural, racial, and linguistic diversity, as well as the changing demands on the judiciary in a rapidly-evolving society. The programs focus on three major components of judicial education: substantive law, skills training, and social context issues.

When members of the same family are involved in more than one aspect of the legal system in a family violence related case, the sharing of information through multiple proceedings in the Canadian legal system becomes cumbersome and difficult. The University of New Brunswick research team will undertake a research study to inform the development of Canada's first Coordinated Family Violence Court Model. This will include accurate information exchange protocols to improve information sharing for family violence cases. This will help to improve a fragmented legal system and improve the sharing of information in a timely matter.

The organization aims to harmonize the laws of the provinces and territories of Canada, and where appropriate the federal laws as well. It also makes recommendations for changes to federal criminal legislation based on identified deficiencies, defects or gaps in the existing law, or based on problems created by judicial interpretation of existing law. The organization also launched the Commercial Law Strategy, which aims to modernize and harmonize Canadian commercial law.

The Recipient agrees to contribute to addressing the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in the criminal justice system through prevention, diversion and reintegration activities.
