Introduction

Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which CCLA operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.

Thank You

CCLA is grateful to the supportive and thoughtful youth, parents, teachers, community members, activists, and advocates who took the time to review this lengthy Guide and share with us your thoughts and excellent feedback; to those who connected us with your networks, family and friends; and to the volunteers who worked on this Guide.

CCLA wishes to thank Dana Achtemichuk of Kapoor Barristers and Lex Gill of Trudel Johnston & Lespérance for their tremendous efforts and legal excellence in reviewing this Guide. CCLA is deeply appreciative of the support provided by Anil Kapoor and Kapoor Barristers, Bruce Johnston, Marianne Dagenais-Lespérance, Lex Gill, and Trudel Johnston & Lespérance for their support of this Guide and other CCLA efforts to fight racial profiling.
