ABOUT THE JUSTICE CENTRE

Who We Are

Founded in 2010, we defend the constitutional freedoms of Canadians through litigation and education.

Our vision is a free society where governments uphold human dignity by respecting fundamental rights and freedoms, and where Canadians can realize their potential and fulfil their aspirations. Our mission is to defend the constitutional freedoms of Canadians through litigation and education.

Our Beliefs

Equality: We believe that every Canadian should be treated equally by governments and by the courts, regardless of race, ancestry, ethnicity, age, sex, religion, political conviction or personal characteristics.
Expression: We believe that all Canadians should be free to express peacefully their thoughts, opinions and beliefs without fear of censorship, persecution or oppression, as per Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Information: We believe the ability of the news media to gather and disseminate information, independent of government control and interference, is necessary for the functioning of a free and democratic society. We believe this same freedom is also the foundation of higher learning and education.
Autonomy: We believe all Canadians have the right to self-determination to make fundamental life choices for themselves and their children as free and responsible members of society, as protected under Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Assembly: We believe Canadians have the freedom to gather together publicly and peacefully to express, promote, pursue and defend their common interests. This includes the freedom of Canadians to peaceful protest and demonstrations on public property.
Responsibility: We believe every Canadian has a responsibility to recognize, protect and preserve their human rights and constitutional freedoms.
