We're a pretty small team on a pretty tight budget. Add to that that this site is looking like an increasingly hostile place for humanist values (see: amnesty.org/en/latest/news…) So we've been spending more of our focus on other platforms.

We released our latest report yesterday: Open for Unconstitutional Business. Nearly half of municipalities in Ontario opened their 2018 inaugural council meetings with a prayer, despite the practice being ruled unconstitutional in 2015. Read it now: bchumanist.ca/open_for_uncon…

This kind of content has no place in municipal council meetings, that should be welcoming to all, regardless of belief or lack thereof! Governments in #CdnPoli have a duty of religious neutrality, and #OntarioPoli municipalities are in violation of this duty.

The worst offenders. Laurentian Valley: Every council meeting the Mayor reads the Lord's Prayer Whitewater Region: Every council meeting begins with a prayer to "Almighty God." Pickering: Every meeting begins with "Creator of all."

📢New Report Alert! Our study identified 156 #OntarioPoli municipalities that included prayer in their 2018 inaugural meetings. This is an unconstitutional practice (as per the Supreme Court ruling in Saguenay, 2015). #Humanism #Secular #CdnPoli

We were also able to use historical data to show that prayers are becoming less common in Ontario. Many councils abandoned prayers after the MLQ v Saguenay decision in 2015. We also wrote to every municipality we identified and asked them to respect the law. Many agreed to.
