The Rights Stuff

The goal of The Rights Stuff is to train groups of young Canadians from diverse backgrounds so that they develop an in-depth understanding of their rights and freedoms as stipulated in the Canadian Charter and are able to run their own workshops on these issues in their schools and communities. Training will take place through five regional workshops in Moncton, Yellowknife, Winnipeg, Kamloops and Rimouski (Aug 2003 - Jan 2004).
