Description

Aliya is an avid painter who loves expressing her creativity through art. Shediac, New Brunswick, is overrun by the Lob-Mob, crabby gang that has a rule of silence imposed on everyone in the town. It is up to Aliya to use her talents as a visual artist to challenge the Lob-Mob and restore the town’s freedom.

This story seeks to teach children about the freedom of expression. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms… (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication…(— Section 2(b), the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms)

The Charter for Children introduces children to the basic principles of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Each story is set in a different province or territory of the country and each addresses a different right or freedom in the Charter. The series seeks to empower children by providing them with a basic awareness of their rights and by fostering a respect for the fundamental values that Canadians cherish.
