Surety
The court may ask for a surety. A surety is someone who promises money to the court and agrees to supervise you while you’re released on bail. Usually the surety is a friend or relative who knows you well and who the court thinks will make sure you follow your bail conditions.
If you don’t have a surety, ask your lawyer or duty counsel to refer you to the bail program. The bail program is a government-funded program that gives bail supervision to some people who don’t have sureties. Ask if there is a special bail program for Indigenous people.
