A church is taking legal action against the city of Saguenay, Que., for evicting the Christian congregation from a public rental space on the grounds of adhering to the province’s secularism law.
The Church of Two Shores had leased a public basement rental space from the city since 2024. City officials recently terminated the lease while referencing the Act Respecting the Laicity of the State, Quebec’s secularism law, according to a June 11 news release from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which is providing legal support to the church.
