Quebec: Religious Symbols

religious symbols: Known as Bill 60, the charter would ban public sector employees, including teachers, doctors and daycare workers, from displaying or wearing religious symbols. Public hearings on the charter begin Tuesday, according to CTV. A rally in Montreal took place Sunday to drum up last minute support for the groups cause and Quiet protests are shaping up across Quebec, as opponents of the province's charter of values are calling on everyone to wear religious symbols that would be outlawed by legislation aimed at intensifying secularism in Quebec. A group called Support the Others is spearheading the campaign encouraging Quebecers to display religious symbols. Employees at one Montreal office on Monday wore combinations of hijabs, rosaries, kippahs and other religious symbols to denounce the bill. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
