As more people receive COVID-19 vaccines, the issue of vaccine passports has become a hot topic in Canada.  A vaccine passport could be used to certify that an individual has received specific vaccines, potentially granting privileges such as travelling across a border or being permitted to access certain venues like restaurants or concerts. The regulation of these passports raises many questions, including whether or not their implementation would infringe on Canadians’ Charter rights.

Professor Samuel Singer has been awarded the Canadian Law and Society Association (CLSA) Article Prize for his paper "Trans Rights Are Not Just Human Rights: Legal Strategies for Trans Justice”, which argues that current human rights laws are not sufficient to address legal challenges facing trans people.
