The Faculty of Arts would like to invite students and faculty to join us on Thursday, November 17th at 3:00pm in the Faculty Lounge, where Noa Mendelsohn Aviv, Executive Director and General Counsel, will discuss the work of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.  All are welcome to attend.

What does the Canadian Civil Liberties Association do? 

CCLA is a human rights organization committed to defending the rights, dignity, safety, and freedoms of all people in Canada. As was established in the organization’s founding principles, CCLA is the pre-eminent voice advocating for the rights and freedoms of all Canadians and all persons living in Canada. Recently, the Association has participated in the public hearing about the imposition of the Emergency Measures Act during last winter’s “trucker’s protest,” and has mounted responses to the imposition of Bill 28 concerning striking educational assistants in Ontario and Bill 21 concerning bans on religious dress in Quebec.
