CASHRA 2006 national human rights conference
Human rights are the language of the present age. They speak to the inherent entitlements that are an inseparable part of being human.

The CASHRA 2006 human rights conference will examine the roots of human rights in Canada, celebrate our achievements, and look toward the challenges of the future.
