Civil Liberties Complaints and Inquiries

The BC Civil Liberties Association receives well over 2,000 calls each year from members of the public who request assistance. Given our limited resources, we are able to accept only a small percentage of these as cases.

Case acceptance policy

If you would like to inquire about assistance regarding a civil liberties issue or are unsure if your question or concern is a civil liberties issue, contact Jesse Lobdell by email, providing a brief description of the issue. Jesse can also be reached at 604.630.9754.

Barry Gilpin shares his experience regarding support from the BCCLA...
“I was impressed with the immediacy and urgency the Association took in looking into my matter. They came to bat for us at City Hall and were the main reason we were granted a delay to proposed changes.” Cheapskates

Janine Fuller on the BCCLA...
“BCCLA is instrumental in the preservation of the freedom of all Canadians, but more specifically those who often don't have the ability or the strength to fight for their rights. Their commitment to free speech and expression of rights has ensured that our voice can be heard.” Little Sisters Bookstore
