Letter writer says the flyers were attributed to Action4Canada, while it only included some content from an A4C flyer
SooToday received the following open letter from Action4Canada CEO, who says the flyers that were distributed near Sault Ste Marie schools contain some content from an A4C flyer, but are not official Action4Canada materials.
In response to the recent frenzy over flyers, it is firstly important for everyone involved, the school board, media, etc., to understand that distributing flyers/brochures or leaflets is a Constitutionally protected freedom according to the following Supreme Court ruling. Committee for the Commonwealth of Canada v Canada 1991 CanLII 119, L’Heureux-Dubé.
Either way, the flyers being distributed were handed out on public property outside of schools and were done so within the parameters of the law. It is not illegal to hand out flyers, and permission from the school, or school board, is not required. The curriculum, learning resources and all books for minors must be age-appropriate, not cause emotional harm and should not be sexually explicit so as to stay within the bounds of the rule of law and School/Education Acts.
