On April 17, 1982, Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau signed the Charter,
thereby guaranteeing fundamental rights and freedoms for all Canadians.
In honour of this milestone, the Canadian Bar Association introduced Law Day in 1983 as a means
to commemorate the event and educate the public about the legal system.
The Alberta Branch of the Canadian Bar Association works in cooperation and with funding from
the Alberta Law Foundation and the Law Society of Alberta to organize activities throughout the
province to celebrate Law Day.
Advertising and Public Relations
Law Day activities were promoted across the city, in advertising mediums such as banners above
major roadways, and print advertising in the Calgary Sun, Great News community newsletters,
and with Calgary Transit in buses and C-Trains.
