I am excited to be speaking at this panel discussion on privacy rights and freedom of expression in Canada today with BCCLA Policy Director Meghan McDermott and... Spencer Izan and Jessica Kim, Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor of The Griffins’ Nest student newspaper.
This event moderated by BCCLA summer student Katherine Benson will focus on:
- New research conducted by the BCCLA on youth vulnerability to searches of their phones and other electronic devices in Canadian schools;
- Threats to student’s freedom of expression by the Vancouver School Board and Spencer and Jessica’s fight for a Student Press Freedom Act in British Columbia;
- The current law governing police authority to search cell phones;
-Your privacy rights at Canadian borders, including the most recent updates on bills going through Canadian parliament.
