Since April 2015, Bridges of Canada has partnered with Correctional Services Canada on the Faith Community Reintegration Projects (FCRP) in locations like Ottawa, Guelph/London, Sudbury, Winnipeg, and Saint Johns.

This initiative supports offenders' plans and emphasizes holistic, safe reintegration practices through spiritual and religious support.
