From its inception, the Terrace Chapter of the Council of Canadians has been active in the promotion of representational democracy and the preservation of key Canadian values and institutions such as the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.  Locally, the chapter was very involved in the Go Vote campaign during the 2014 national election hosting voter information sessions at local college/university and the farmer’s market.  The Terrace chapter has also undertaken a number of initiatives to raise awareness and knowledge about national electoral reform which was a pledge of our newly elected federal government.  The local chapter opposed the Harper governments’ passing of Bill C-51 as a threat to individual liberties enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.  Finally, the Terrace Chapter has been active in raising awareness about the facts and potential pitfalls of international Trade Agreements such as TPP and CETA which could undermine Canada’s economic sovereignty.

In addition, the Terrace Chapter holds information sessions and advocates on a number of the national campaign initiatives described below.
