Charter of Freedom & Rights
In class this week, we’re learning about the rights and responsibilities of Canadian citizens. In class, we took a quick look at the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom. Some students asked for copies of it, and while I will be giving everyone hand-out with the summary (in child-friendly language), I will not be printing out the full charter. Here is an online version:http://charterofrights.ca/en/27_00_01
The charter has also been translated into different languages (along the left hand side bar) as well.
Elections Debate
I’ve also encouraged students to watch (parts of) the Provincial Election Debate tonight. It will be airing on CBC from 6:30-8:00. It’ll be a good chance for students to get to know some of the issues and a chance to hear from Tim Hudak (who didn’t submit videos to The Student Vote website).
