Educating the next generation of Canadians

The Justice Centre is developing a high school curriculum on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This curriculum will educate high school students, parents, and teachers about the value of human dignity, about the importance of fundamental rights and freedoms, and about the political institutions of Canada.

Canadian students lack an understanding of these important concepts, which are necessary for productive participation in the public sphere of Canada. This curriculum will contribute to the advancement of knowledge in Canada and will equip the next generation of voters and public servants to regard the Charter for what it is-a significant and ongoing moment in the history of Canada’s search for freedom.

The Justice Centre will be an exhibitor at the May 2023 Alberta Home Education Association (AHEA) conference in Red Deer, Alberta. We will be sharing the first module of this curriculum (on freedom of expression) with home educators and students at this conference. We hope to see you there!
