Rights and Responsibilities

This chapter explores the fundamental rights and responsibilities that shape life in Canada. You’ll discover the freedoms that protect every citizen—such as equality, freedom of expression, and democratic participation—while also learning about the responsibilities that keep the country strong, including obeying the law, serving on a jury when called, and respecting the rights of others. By the end, you’ll see how these principles work together to define what it truly means to be an active Canadian citizen.
