The municipal council unanimously adopted a declaration on the application of the Act promoting living together and regulating accommodations for religious reasons.
The declaration provides that the boroughs will analyze and authorize, within their territory, requests for religious events. It calls for Montreal's diversity to be taken into account, while respecting the criteria of the law.
The law prohibits the use of a public road or public park for collective religious practice, except for exceptional municipal authorization granted on a case-by-case basis. The declaration entrusts this analysis to the boroughs. According to the cited criteria, the event must be safe, of short duration, accessible to all, and not unduly hinder access to public domain.
The declaration does not specify a location or particular event.
No publicly available information.
