This logo was a gift from Qualicum First Nations Elder & Artist, Gordon Reid.
Two powerful thunderbirds respresent the victim and the offender meeting face-to-face and heart-to-heart to find a way to resolve the harm that has been caused by the behaviour of the offender. The scales of justice represent the process of restorative justice. The logo is formed in a circle wjich tells of each person's equality within the process, with the top of the circle completed by a red arc representing "the brighter future" we can experience after the restorative process is completed.

In addition to the logo, the ACJS has adopted from the Coast Salish a motto for the program. Zwiyu' los' tel (Whee-a-LOSS-tel), which means "Look After Each Other". Also from Gordon Reid who told us as he and his siblings left for school each day, his mother would say this to them.
