Enabling Exploration, Learning, and Engagement with The Ideas of Freedom for Nearly Two Decades

Creating non-partisan, educational environments to explore the underpinnings of a free society and the classical liberal tradition

Since 2006, the ILS has hosted hundreds of in-person and virtual guest lectures, seminars, student events, and other educational events across Canada.

At ILS events, you’ll hearing from leading scholars and experts on the economic, philosophical, and political underpinnings of a free society and the classical liberal tradition.

And—since the ideas of freedom belong to everyone—you’ll get the opportunity to engage with others on these ideas in a non-partisan environment.

The Institute for Liberal Studies (ILS) is a Canadian registered charity.
