In November 2021, Canadians for a Civil Society, in partnership with the University of Alberta’s Department of Political Science (Faculty of Arts), the Canada Research Chair in the Politics of Citizenship and Human Rights, and the Centre for Constitutional Studies jointly convened a national, online conference. The conference brought together academics, policy professionals, artists and community members to explore the legacy of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The conference included keynote lectures by The Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin (The Hurtig Lecture) and by Robyn Maynard (The University of Alberta Lectureship in Human Rights), as well as three full days of academic panels and two art-based workshops.
