About John Carpay, B.A., LL.B.

John Carpay was  born in the Netherlands, and grew up in British Columbia. He earned his  B.A. in Political Science at Laval University in Quebec City, and his  LL.B. from the University of Calgary. Fluent in English, French, and  Dutch, John served the Canadian Taxpayers Federation as Alberta Director  from 2001 to 2005, advocating for lower taxes, less waste, and  accountable government.

Called to the Bar in 1999, he has been an  advocate for freedom and the rule of law in constitutional cases across  Canada. As the Founder and President of the Justice Centre for  Constitutional Freedoms, John has devoted his career to defending  constitutional freedoms through litigation and education.

In  2010, John received the Pyramid Award for Ideas and Public Policy in  recognition of his work in constitutional advocacy, and his success in  building up and managing a non-profit organization to defend citizens’  freedoms.

Legal career

John  Carpay has appeared at all levels of court, including the Supreme Court  of Canada, where he argued in support of racial equality on behalf of  the Japanese Canadian Fishermen’s Association in R. v. Kapp. Since being called to the Bar in 1999, he has provided legal services and advice on a pro bono basis through Student Legal Assistance (University of Calgary), Calgary  Legal Guidance, and the Edmonton Community Legal Centre (formerly known  as the Edmonton Centre for Equal Justice). He has volunteered his time  to the University of Calgary Faculty of Law mooting program, as a coach  and judge. Through the Canadian Constitution Foundation, where John  served as its first Executive Director from 2005-2010, and through the  Justice Centre (2010-present), John’s efforts have made it possible for  hundreds of Canadians to receive pro bono legal representation in defence of their Charter rights and freedoms.

He  considers it a privilege to advocate for courageous and principled  clients who take great risks – and make tremendous personal sacrifices –  by resisting the unjust demands of intolerant government authorities.
