…because FREEDOM can't protect itself!

The work of the BCCLA has never been more important or as needed as it is today. Whether we are speaking out against the use of a Canadian no-fly list, lobbying for the Prevention of Torture Act or calling for a civilian investigation of police misconduct, the Association is working every day to make sure your rights and freedoms are protected and respected.

Over the past few years the Association has found its services being called upon more and more frequently. With this increase in demand comes the need to increase our financial capacity. Without your contributions, the BCCLA won't be able to continue.

The BCCLA relies heavily on the support of people like you who believe in freedom and civil liberties and our work to protect them. We are not government funded. We receive funding from the Law Foundation of BC as well as by our members and supporters. It is because of our member and donors generosity that we are able to accomplish all that we do.

Membership is the heart of the Association. If you are not already a member, please sign up today. With your membership you will receive the following benefits:

• Civil Liberties Update - our popular monthly e-newsletter
• The Democratic Commitment - newsletter published three times a year, which includes our Annual Report·
• Invitations to events throughout the year, such as our Maher Arar speaking event, lecture hosting Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin, Stephen Ward, Association Professor of Journalist Ethics of UBC School of Journalism or his Excellency John Ralston Saul.
• Invitation and voting rights at our Annual General Meeting in March

YES, I would like to become a member of the BCCLA
