The Charter of Rights Now Interactive

SailorJones Media launches English and French Web sites 

Toronto - June 14, 2006 - Just in time for Canada Day, SailorJones Media announces the launch of the English and French Web sites for The Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The sites are now available at www.charterofrights.ca and www.chartesdesdroits.ca .

The Web sites are part of The Fundamental Freedoms Project, a multi-platform, web, documentary and DVD-ROM initiative examining Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Rich in content, English and French Web sites, each over 90 pages, feature:

• 1 hour of streaming video interviews, with over 40 minutes of compelling audio
• "Zoomable" images of the Charter in over 20 languages
• Plain, easy to understand language explaining the Charter
• Designed for the visually and hearing impaired
• Extensive links to other human rights resources
• Extensive explanations of Canadian rights-related legal cases
• Educational content tied to curriculum across Canada
• A dozen teacher guides in both English and French

"To our knowledge, this is the most extensive Web site exploring the single most important document in Canadian history, our Charter of Rights and Freedoms", said SailorJones Media Executive Producer, Barbara Jones.

Key to the Charter of Rights Web site is accessibility for a wide range of age groups, and abilities. "The Charter can be a complicated document to understand. We've designed and written the site in simple, everyday language everyone can understand, in both English and French", added Jones.

The Web site is planned for a total of 11 languages each launching in time to celebrate the Charter's 25 th anniversary in April 2007.

With Canada Day 2006 just around the corner, the English and French Charter of Rights Web sites come as an early birthday gift to all Canadians.
