While you’re here, you may wish to attend one of our upcoming workshops:
Investigating Complex Cases
What do you do when your investigation takes an unexpected turn? Have you struggled with how to proceed when the normal steps don’t seem to apply? In this advanced course, we tackle the complexities that can complicate an otherwise traditional investigation. This course includes in-depth discussion of handling anonymous complaints, counter-complaints, complaints of reprisal, and more!
As I think about what Canada’s 150th birthday means to me, I think about what it means to be Canadian and what I hope for the future of rights and freedoms in Canada and for Canadians. The words of former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker from 56 years ago still resonate.
“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” John Diefenbaker (From the Canadian Bill of Rights, July 1, 1960)
I hope that these words, and the rights and freedoms they represent will remain true for Canada and for Canadians, not only for the next 150 years, but far beyond.
Happy 150th Birthday Canada!
