Charity hopes city reverses decision to ban nativity scene

The Catholic men’s fraternity banned from its decades-old practice of placing a nativity scene on the roof of the entrance corridor to city hall each Christmas is displeased at no longer being able to carry out the tradition.

For Vandermeer the nativity scene is as much a cultural symbol as anything else related to Christmas. City staffers, and not city council, invoked a 2015 Supreme Court of Canada decision stemming from a complaint made in 2007 about the City of Saguenay’s practice of holding a prayer before the start of every council meeting.

“It should never have been allowed in the first place. Stick to church or private property for your religious symbols to be displayed,” read one comment.
