    Multani v. Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys (Plain-Language Summary)

    The case of Multani v. Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys was a court case that took place from 2001 to 2006. It was about the right to practice religion at school. It is also known as the “kirpan case”. A Sikh student, Gurbaj Singh Multani, wanted to wear his kirpan to school for religious reasons. The kirpan is a small knife that Sikhs must always carry with them. Finally, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that wearing a kirpan must be permitted in order to respect freedom of religion. However, the knife must be secured so as not to threaten the safety of others. (This article is a plain-language summary about the Multani case. If you are interested in reading about this topic in more depth, please see our full-length entry Multani c. Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys.)
