SUMMARY:Constitutional Roundtable with Justice Colin C.J. Feasby
DESCRIPTION:The David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights’ Constitutional Roundtables are an annual series of lunchtime discussion forums that provide an opportunity to consider developments in Canadian constitutional theory and practice.  The Constitutional Roundtable series promotes scholarship and aims to make a meaningful contribution to intellectual discourse about Canadian constitutional law. \nWe are pleased to be hosting Justice Colin C.J. Feasby for a lunchtime Constitutional Roundtable on March 3\, 2026. \nAll are welcome * No RSVP Required * Light lunch provided \nTitle: Exploring the Margins of Constitutional Protection for Democracy \nAbstract: Courts play an important role as the referees for democratic competitions.  The democratic rights in the Charter guarantee that courts may fulfill the referee function for federal and provincial elections.  Charter democratic rights do not extend to municipal elections\, school board elections\, band council elections\, and referendums.  The Supreme Court of Canada also resisted the use of Charter s 3 concepts to protect lower order democratic processes under the aegis of freedom of expression in Toronto (City) v Ontario (Attorney General).   Accordingly\, the ability of courts to perform a referee function in relation to lower order democratic processes is limited\, and those processes are vulnerable to predation by higher levels of government.  Justice Feasby’s presentation will question if there are different ways to look at democratic rights\, fundamental freedoms\, and lower order democratic processes that might afford more constitutional protection for such democratic processes. \nBiography: Justice Colin C.J. Feasby graduated from the University of Alberta Faculty of Law in 1998.  He later attended Columbia University where he earned an LL.M and J.S.D.  He practiced at Osler for over 20 years\,  serving the Managing Partner of Osler’s Calgary Office for four years.  As a lawyer\, Justice Feasby had an active trial and appellate practice acting for corporate clients as well as a significant pro bono public interest practice.  He appeared before many courts across the country\, including the Supreme Court of Canada several times.  He has written extensively on constitutional law subjects\, particularly concerning democracy issues.  He was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 2020 and then to the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta in 2021.  In his time as a justice\, he has written many significant decisions including concerning Medical Assistance in Dying\, the constitutionality of changes to regulations governing opioid prescription\, the constitutionality of the Personal Information Protection Act\, and the secession of Alberta from Canada.

SUMMARY:Asper Centre Police Guide launch
DESCRIPTION:The Asper Centre has developed a Police Complaints Guide for Ontario — a practical resource designed to help community members understand and navigate Ontario’s police complaints and oversight systems. To support accessibility across communities\, the guide is available as a downloadable PDF in English\, French\, and Oji-Cree (Anishininiimowin / ᐊᓂᐦᔑᓂᓃᒧᐏᐣ). \nThis project grew out of research identifying significant barriers to accessing police accountability mechanisms — particularly for communities most impacted by systemic racism\, discrimination\, and over-policing\, including Indigenous\, Black\, and 2SLGBTQ+ communities. It responds to calls for accountability\, justice\, and reconciliation\, including those articulated by the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. \nOn Thursday March 26th\, 2026 we are hosting an event to help promote the guide and give thanks to the many students and stakeholder partners who worked on the guide and/or reviewed its contents. We are grateful to the Law Foundation of Ontario for funding this project. \n👉 LINK to the guide here: www.tinyurl.com/AsperPoliceGuide \nIf you wish to attend the launch event\, please RSVP with your full name and affiliation to tal.schreier@utoronto.ca \n \n
