City and Right to Life group square off in court
A lawsuit involving a local Right to Life group is making its way through the courts.
The Prince Albert Right to Life Association is suing the City of Prince Albert after it was denied the chance to fly its flag during Celebrate Life Week activities last year. The group is seeking a judicial review of the decision.
At issue is a picture on the group’s flag, which depicts a cartoon fetus with the words “please let me live” on it. The organization had been flying the same flag on the City’s courtesy flag pole every year since 2007.
The City argued in court Tuesday that the flag created controversy amongst the public.
