Canadian Preacher's Rights Infringed By Calgary's Limits On Use of Parks

A Canadian court in Calgary, Alberta ruled yesterday that Calgary city parks rules barring the distribution of free food, posting signs and gathering people together for religious services violates the religious freedom rights of street preacher Artur Pawlowski. The Calgary Sun reports that the court also found that the ban on using amplification systems in the park violated Pawlowski's free speech rights under Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
