  1. Freedom of Religion By: Jared and Darian

  2. Freedom of Religion: • Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability. (http://www.uottawa.ca/constitutional-law/expression.html) • In Canada, we have the right to exercise religious freedom, not what are beliefs are.

  3. Time line 1900-1950: In 1937 a community hall didn’t allow to rent out for a group of people because he thought that they were going to be praying and worshiping god. In 1948 everyone had the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, In Ontario on 1932 the a insurance company gave a man a higher tax rate because of color and religion. In 1933 government of Canada started strengthening its stand against discrimination. In 1941 Shortly after 2 million Christians had been butchered and their churches were burnt to the ground because of believing in a god.

  4. Religion at School • Public schools can`t teach religion but they can teach about Religion in Schools • A teacher can excuse a student from a lesson that goes against their religion. • Students are allowed to pray if it doesn`t disrupt the class when they are not participating in school activities or being taught.

  5. Religion at work • People are allowed to wear whatever they want that has to do with their religion. For example the man who was asked to work in the RCMP and was Sikh and had to wear a turban, but they had a policy that he had to wear a RCMP hat. He sued the RCMP and then was allowed to wear his turban at work. • You are allowed to take Holy days off.

  6. In Quebec they proposed a law that would make women wearing a veil covering their face not able to give or receive government services. For example they would not be able to go to a doctor or go to university without showing their face. This would go against freedom of religion.
