The Access Project was a program of community education in cooperation with the Victim-Offender Reconciliation Project (VORP) of Mennonite Central Committee Ontario and the Ontario Ministry of Corrections. The program ran from 1977-1980. In 1977, the Access Project created two educational slide shows, one on "The Law, Crime and the Administration of Justice" and another on "Juvenile Delinquency." Slides were also taken for use in displays and for a television series on "Crime and the Community."
The slides in this file are assumed to have been created for the above purposes. The slides came to the Archives in no particular order, and may have been used for more than one presentation. No scripts for the slideshows have been located.

Stirling Avenue Mennonite Church formed the first Canadian Mennonite peace centre lodged in a congregation in 1987. The centre was supported by the Peace and Justice Working Group, formed in the early 1980s. The group's activities included participation in public protests and actions for peace and justice, and education of the congregation around issues of peace and justice.
