Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Margaret Clark to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Margaret shares her inspiring journey of integrating Indigenous wisdom into restorative practices, highlighting how these approaches foster healing, accountability, and community connection. Drawing on her Canadian roots and extensive experience, she explains why centering Indigenous voices and values strengthens restorative justice efforts across diverse settings. Margaret emphasizes that restorative practices are not just conflict resolution tools—they’re pathways to building trust, repairing harm, and nurturing resilient relationships. Her insights illuminate the powerful role of storytelling, circle processes, and cultural humility in creating spaces where everyone feels heard and respected. Margaret is the manager of the Canadian Mental Health Association Vernon & District Restorative Justice Services. Her interest in restorative justice came about through her background of working in correctional centers as a life skills coach and treatment programs as a program coordinator/counselor. As a proud member of the Syilx Nation, Margaret is committed to sharing Indigenous knowledge in the North Okanagan. She is a respected voice on local committees and was recently honored with the King Charles III Coronation Medal for her leadership and service.  With strong ties to the North Okanagan, Margaret carries a vision of learning and teaching about restorative justice principles and practices.
