Empowering Society To Advance Civil Liberties & Human Rights

The Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre

What We Do

The Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre (ACLRC) advances understanding and protection of civil liberties and human rights through research and education. We conduct community-informed research to examine emerging issues affecting equality, discrimination, and fundamental freedoms in Alberta, and translate that knowledge into accessible educational programs, workshops, and resources. By engaging students, community organizations, and the public, we help build awareness, strengthen human rights literacy, and support informed action toward a more just and inclusive society.

... And What We Don't Do.

The Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre (ACLRC) does not offer legal advice. Legal Advice interprets and applies legal rules and laws to a specific case. Legal advice is provided by lawyers. More information on finding a lawyer can be found here. 

The ACLRC provides legal information. Legal information provides general, neutral and factual information on the law and legal processes.

RESEARCH AND EDUCATION - NOT ADVOCACY

The ACLRC does not engage in advocacy - neither in individual cases, nor in the form of political lobbying.
