The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and promoting civil liberties and human rights in Canada. Founded in 1964, it advocates for the rights of individuals and groups, ensuring that laws and government actions respect the freedoms guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. CCLA engages in public education, legal advocacy, and policy reform to address issues such as freedom of expression, privacy rights, and equality. The organization often intervenes in court cases and collaborates with other groups to raise awareness about civil liberties challenges faced by Canadians.
