The passionate and musical moose Réal is not allowed to participate in Cerf académie – all because his jaw is too big! Driven by the inspiring music and careers of Canadian music stars such as AhLaBiche Morissette, Réal is compelled to share his story with the townsfolk. Will the Moose Jaw theatre finally allow him to participate?

This story seeks to teach children about the right to equal treatment and freedom from discrimination on the basis of disability: Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on… mental or physical disability.

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.
