The Runnymede Society’s Humber Chapter hosted a Coffee and Cases discussion examining Carter v. Canada (2015), a landmark Supreme Court decision that continues to shape the nation’s legal and ethical landscape.

The session focused on the balance between autonomy, dignity, and the protection of vulnerable individuals under Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Professor Jasteena Dhillon guided a thoughtful conversation on how Carter continues to influence Canada’s approach to medical assistance in dying (MAID), the development of legislative safeguards, and the ongoing ethical and legal challenges that surround the issue.

The event drew a diverse group of students from across Humber, including those in Community Justice, Bachelor of Commerce, and the Bachelor of Paralegal Studies programs with participants ranging from first-year to fourth-year students.
