Kory Wilson
Kory Wilson is a prominent advocate for Indigenous justice in Canada, currently serving as the chair of the B.C. First Nations Justice Council. With a deep commitment to transforming the justice system, she has been instrumental in pioneering initiatives aimed at reducing the over-incarceration of Indigenous peoples. Recently, she opened the Indigenous Diversion Centre in Prince George, a groundbreaking project designed to provide wrap-around support for individuals at risk of incarceration. This initiative reflects her dedication to addressing the root causes of crime, such as addiction and trauma, through community-based solutions. Wilson comes from a lineage of influential figures in Indigenous rights, being the sister of Jody Wilson-Raybould, Canada’s first Indigenous attorney-general, and the daughter of the late hereditary chief Bill Wilson. Her work emphasizes the importance of collaboration between Indigenous communities and law enforcement to foster healing and prevent reoffending.
