The BeauCastor family runs a successful bagel shop in Montreal. One morning, a mysterious bagel without a hole is pulled from the oven and becomes a national sensation! Then one morning, the bagel goes missing. Someone stole it! The city is turned upside down in the Castor Cops’ efforts to locate the bagel and find the thief. The beavers of Montreal, who are being searched with no respect for their privacy, are outraged!

This story seeks to teach children about the right to be free from “unreasonable” search and seizure, which is guaranteed by section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This section provides that: Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.

La Charte pour les enfants introduces children to the basic principles of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Each story is set in a different province or territory of the country and each addresses a different right or freedom in the Charter. The series seeks to empower children by providing them with a basic awareness of their rights and by fostering a respect for the fundamental values that Canadians cherish.
