*As of the September 1, 2026, the Alberta Court of Justice will be updating their language regarding Gladue Reports, moving away from the term ‘Gladue Reports’ to ‘Indigenous Background Reports’ as a result of consultation with the Gladue family. As the change takes place, we will be paying attention to the Canadian landscape of these reports within the Justice system and will adapt our language as necessary. While these conversations continue to take place, IPS will be using both terms within our Gladue Writer Training Program to reflect the current realities.
Students who have taken Gladue courses are able to request a Tuition Receipt T2202.

Gladue Writer Training was a positive learning experience. I am looking forward to being there to help the Client have their Story told of why and how they became involved in the Criminal Justice System. It is time we help 'Break the Cycle' and provide new options to lengthy incarceration for Indigenous Offenders.
