Cal­gary re­solved against Que­bec’s dis­crim­i­na­tory and di­vi­sive Bill 21 which bans wear­ing of re­li­gious sym­bols by pub­lic ser­vants dur­ing duty hours. Bramp­ton and Vic­to­ria coun­cils have adopted sim­i­lar res­o­lu­tions. WSO has wel­comed the move.

CAL­GARY CITY COUN­CIL unan­i­mously adopted a mo­tion by Mayor Nen­shi, Coun­cil­lor George Cha­hal and oth­ers op­pos­ing Que­bec’s di­vi­sive Bill 21 that pro­hibits pub­lic ser­vants from wear­ing re­li­gious sym­bols as “re­gres­sive in in­tent and big­oted in ef­fect.” World Sikh Or­gan­i­sa­tion wel­comed the move and hoped po­lit­i­cal lead­ers across Canada will unite to con­demn this gross threat to hu­man rights in mul­ti­cul­tural Canada.
