David Arnot and Christian Prayer

Chief Commissioner: The recitation of a Christian prayer at this event represents poor judgement, according to CTV. It was disrespectful and insensitive to a multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-theist audience, Arnot 13-page ruling read. Chief Commissioner David Arnot released the dismissal Thursday, ultimately siding against complainant Ashu Solo but not without criticizing the city decision to recite a Christian prayer at an April 2012 volunteer appreciation banquet. The volunteers attending the dinner, like the citizens of Saskatoon, have varied religious, spiritual and cultural traditions. Solo formally filed the complaint in March 2013. The decision to incorporate a Christian prayer ignored this reality. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
