社区通告:人头税与人权法问题演讲研讨会
保守党新政府上台伊始，总理哈珀以及总督向华人社区就人头税问题正式道歉，并承诺就有关赔偿事宜重新开始磋商。因此，人头税问题再次引起全加民众，特别是华人社区的高度关注。由于人头税问题发生年代久远, 很多人都急切希望了解其历史背景, 由来及发展。 为此，渥太华中国大专校友会特别举办人头税与人权法讲座及研讨会，向各界华人和留学生介绍困扰侨界多年的人头税问题的方方面面。届时将邀请加拿大著名人权律师，历史学家聂宗典女士 (Ms. Dora Nipp) 来渥太华作专场演讲。聂宗典女士多年来致力于研究华裔在加拿大面临的人权问题, 收集了大量的宝贵资料, 为加拿大著名的华裔人权问题专家。 研讨会上还将放映有关人头税和人权问题的纪录影片。同时，大家还可以就目前许多华人面临的人权问题与聂宗典女士进行探讨，并向聂宗典女士咨询。我们相信，这是一场非常及时的，关系到华人社区切身利益的研讨会。欢迎大家踊跃参加。

时间：2006年6月17日, Saturday 6:30 pm
地点：卡尔顿大学, 282 University Centre (near Parking Lot 2)
