The Restorative Research, Innovation and Education Lab, or the Restorative Lab, at Dalhousie University’s Schulich School of Law was founded in the spring of 2020. We are both a “virtual” change lab creating the knowledge needed for social innovation across systems and sites in Canada and around the world and a physical lab serving as a hub for researchers, partners, and communities to convene and work together. We are focused on supporting collaboration and learning to foster innovation, aimed at realizing a more just and inclusive world through a restorative approach.
Learn more about what it means to take a principled restorative approach.
The Restorative Lab aims to help organizations, systems, and communities take a restorative approach to secure justice and improve quality of life for people.
A hub for researchers, policymakers and practitioners to come to learn, explore, and expand new applications for a restorative approach.

The Restorative Lab is founded on deep partnerships and collaborations among individuals, organizations, institutions, and systems in government and community that are core to achieving a more just society.
