Chris Kempling - Activism

Activism

Since his initial suspension in 2002, Kempling has spoken publicly about his conflict with the BCCT and Quesnel School District and raised funds for his legal challenges through organizations such as Equipping Christians for the Public-square Centre and British Columbia Parents and Teachers for Life. In 2003, Kempling appeared as a keynote speaker at NARTH's annual conference in Salt Lake City.

In June, 2005, the Bill C-38 parliamentary committee invited Kempling to testify as an official witness.

In a January, 2006 press release issued after leave to appeal his case to the Supreme Court of Canada was denied, Kempling stated: "It is my intention to keep on fighting by filing a formal complaint with the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. While that won't affect today's court decision, it may embarrass Canada into reviewing its alleged commitment to free speech rights for religious minorities."
