Canadian Constitutional Law #28: Freedom of Religion

By Erin (index)

Can you take your kirpan to school? Not even if it’s in a box under your clothes? These are the questions of section 2(a), freedom of religion. We’ll talk about the evolution of the concept of freedom of religion and look at two cases as examples. First up is Big M Drug Mart, one of the first freedom of religion cases. Then we look at Multani, a case in the media recently about Kirpans in school. If you’re following the current discussions on reasonable accomodation, this is a classic example of how the courts try to respond to situations where seemingly neutral rules impact one group more than another.

Multani v. Commission Scolaire Marguerite?Bourgeoys, (2006)
R v Big M Drug Mart (1985)
Lord?s Day Act 1970
