In a country as large and diverse as Canada, the idea of equality is very important. We have shown how much we value this idea by having it written into the Constitution as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In Canada, we also believe in the importance of working together and helping one another. People who help others without being paid are called volunteers. There are millions of volunteers across Canada.
Some people join community groups and help with local projects.

Legal documents like the Canadian Constitution and the Official Languages Act protect the rights of individual Canadians with regard to official languages.
