About the Conference

Striving for Inclusive Justice: Reflecting on the past and acting for the future

The Provincial HSJCC Conference is the network’s premiere educational event – bringing together more than 600 professionals from across the human services and justice sectors to share promising practices, build cross-sector networks and engage in solutions for the people they serve. Attendees benefit from a richly engrossing program that leaves them better equipped and inspired to meet the needs of Ontarians.

The conference program will reflect a broad range of themes while showcasing work being done within the human service and justice sectors.
