TORONTO, ON: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces that lawyers funded by the Justice Centre have filed the Applicants’ Factum in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on behalf of North Huron residents Stephen Hill and Bradley Carther, marking the latest step in a constitutional challenge concerning Canadians’ right to record municipal council meetings and attend public proceedings without arbitrary exclusion.
The case asks the Court to affirm that recording the proceedings of elected officials is constitutionally protected expression and that municipalities cannot use trespass notices to exclude citizens from council meetings for peacefully documenting public proceedings.
