THE CITIZENSHIP HANDBOOK
Teaching and Workshop Guide
for ESL Teachers and Settlement Counselors
This Guide should be used with The Citizenship Handbook, which is free and may be ordered from the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association.

The overall theme of The Citizenship Handbook and this Guide is citizenship, and its rights and responsibilities. We hope to encourage citizens—both individually and in groups—to become involved in the democratic life of their communities. The Handbook and related Guide activities fit into programs and curricula on citizenship, law, the Canadian government, Canadian history, human rights, and other related topics.

NOTE: To read or print this Guide, you need to download Adobe's free Acrobat software.
