BCCLA

The BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) is the oldest and most active civil liberties and human rights group in Canada. The BCCLA has been actively advancing human rights and civil liberties through litigation, law reform, community-based legal advocacy, and public engagement and education for the last half century. They were established in 1962 by a group of academics and activists at the University of British Columbia in response to draconian police responses to religious minorities in the province.
