Social Justice
The province of Quebec is the province in Canada with the most social programs for its citizens, such as reduced rate daycare, and a family allowance program to name a couple. University tuition is also half of what other Canadian universities charge. There is a historic reason for this. Quebec society is considered an open and tolerant society, but as with any society, its population continues to work hard to improve everyone’s life.
Come and learn about this and other social justice initiatives happening in the province of Quebec. Contact us to start planning your custom program.
