Due to a potential service disruption at Canada Post, mail services may be impacted at our tribunals. In the event of a service disruption, parties are asked to use online options such as e-filing portals where available, or email.
If email or online options are not available, parties may also use courier services to send their documents. If you, or a party, are waiting to receive documents from a tribunal, email or a courier may be used.
If you have any questions, please contact the tribunals.
Custody Review Board
The Custody Review Board (CRB) reviews and makes recommendations on the placement of young people in custody or detention in Ontario
A youth in custody can apply to the CRB for a review of their placement, their transfer from open to secure custody or the decision made by the Provincial Director to deny their temporary release or reintegration leave from a custody facility. The application must be made within 30 days of the transfer or decision.
To file your application with the CRB, call 416-327-4673 or 1-888-728-8823 and speak to a case processing officer who will take your details over the phone.
