Critical Developments in Freedom of Religion
Constitutional, Civil Liberties and Human Rights Law | Original Program Date: June 11, 2015
Spring 2015 has seen two seminal freedom of religion decisions come down from our highest court. Join us to explore the Supreme Court of Canada’s reasoning in Loyola High School v. Quebec and Mouvement laïque québécois v. Saguenay (City). What are the implications for your freedom of religion and other Charter cases? Our expert panel will unravel the complexities, including:
- How the definition of Canadian secularism is developing
- What are the collective dimensions of religious freedom?
- Where are the limits on public prayer?
- What are the implications for future cases, such as the Trinity Western University litigation?
