Now it is time to create your own timeline entry. Please choose a piece of legislation that you think has contributed to the development of human rights in Canada. The contribution does not have to be a positive one.

Your timeline contribution should:

• Provide a summary of the legislation. This may include surrounding controversy. (50-100 words)
• Include the key people and governments involved and their specific contributions. (50-100 words)
• Answer the focus question: How did this change impact the development of human rights law in Canada? (50-100 words)
• Include a photo, video or reading link to give the reader more information about the chosen legislation.
• Provide a list of the sources you used to complete this task.

If you are in need of an idea, please choose from the list below. You are welcome to choose your own example.

• Sexual Sterilization Act, S.A. 1928;
