Published on the traditional unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and the unceded territory of the K’omoks First Nation.
A Second Chance deals with Gladue rights. The booklet is not based on real people or events, but it may upset you, particularly if you or someone you know has experienced family violence or residential school abuse. Please consider reading this booklet with someone you can talk to for support, such as a family member or friend.
This booklet explains the law in general. It isn’t intended to give you legal advice on your particular problem. Because each person’s case is different, you may need to get legal help.
The information in this booklet was legally reviewed and is up to date as of October 2018. This publication may not be reproduced commercially, but copying for other purposes, with credit, is encouraged.
The Legal Services Society (LSS) is a non-profit organization that provides legal aid to British Columbians. LSS is separate from the provincial government, its primary funder. It also receives grants from the Law Foundation and the Notary Foundation (of BC).
