City bans nativity scene from city hall roof
The City of Terrace is banning the placing of a nativity scene on top of the covered entrance to city hall this holiday season, ending a decades-old Christmas observance.
That complaint by atheist Alain Simoneau was upheld by the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal but then rejected by the Quebec Court of Appeal, whereupon Simoneau took his case to the Supreme Court. “The need to separate religion and government has been the subject of numerous court decisions in Canada,” he said.
He indicated that the previous city council whose term ended this month was not involved in the matter and that it fell to city administrators.
