The Charter Project The Charter Project is a public education and awareness campaign about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which has its 30th anniversary on April 17, 2012. Managed by University of Windsor Law student volunteers, Charter Project’s education tools include public service announcement style videos featuring Canadian celebrities, and substantive filmed interviews with legal pioneers, members of Canada’s judiciary and other prominent Canadians. The team prepared Charter-themed education workshops for high school students. They are among the interactive and educational Canadian Bar Association Law Day 2012 activities.
