Lesson 3: Protecting Citizenship Rights

One of the benefits of citizenship in a democratic country like Canada is that you are guaranteed many rights and freedoms. For example, Canadians are guaranteed equal rights and treatment regardless of factors such as age, gender, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, and political affiliation. Canadian citizens are also free to express opinions, to protest, and to live as they choose, so long as they do not endanger others or break any laws.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms lists all the rights and freedoms that are guaranteed to Canadian citizens.
