The provincial parole board may grant parole to an offender if in the board"s opinion: The offender will not, by reoffending, present an undue risk to society before the expiration, according to law, of the sentence the offender is serving. The release of the offender will contribute to the protection of society by facilitating the reintegration of the offender into society as a law-abiding citizen. The release of an offender from custody can occur at one of the 3 points: The parole eligibility date, for either day parole or full parole.
