The City of Moncton acknowledges it limited a Christian group’s right to freedom of expression when it cancelled an event planned for last summer but says it was justified.
The city filed its statement of defence in the lawsuit brought against it by Burn 24/7 Canada, a group that organizes prayer and worship events across the country.
The group is suing the city, claiming it infringed on its freedom of expression when it cancelled a worship concert planned for July of last year at the city’s Riverfront Park.
