Organization Description: Secular Connexion Séculière (SCS) is a national organization dedicated to advocating and lobbying for atheist rights in Canada, to facilitating communication and dialogue among Canadian atheists, and to communicating Canadian human rights values to the world. SCS does not have, nor does it seek, any governing powers in the Canadian atheist community. Rather, it seeks support for its efforts to defend non-believers right to freedom from religion, to lobby the Canadian government on the behalf of Canadian atheists, to provide communication conduits for Canadian atheist organizations.

For years, “Bob”* has suffered systemic and systematic discrimination from the Calgary Police Services. He launched a thoroughly documented complaint to the Alberta Human rights Commission in 2021, only to have the Commission claim he didn’t launch it until 2023 and that many incidents had happened before the one year limitation period.(?!) Recently, The Commission has refused to hear his case so “Sgt. Bob” has no option except to launch an expensive legal appeal through the courts. This case is important to us all because it is a Charter of Rights and Freedoms case and will send a warning to all other government entities that they can not discriminate in this manner.
*”Sgt. Bob” is a pseudonym necessary to protect a real person’s privacy. SCS and CFIC have both verified the legitimacy of his complaint by examining copies of the documents he has submitted to the Human Rights Commission.
Please donate by e-transfer to treasurer@secularconnexion.ca. Put your email and “Supporting Sgt. Bob” in the memo section. We will forward the funds directly to “Sgt. Bob” for his use, send you a receipt, and an update on the amount raised.
Pendant des années, « Bob » a subi une discrimination systémique et systématique de la part des services de police de Calgary. Il a déposé une plainte bien documentée auprès de la Commission des droits de la personne de l’Alberta en 2021, mais la Commission a affirmé qu’il ne l’avait pas lancée avant 2023 et que de nombreux incidents s’étaient produits avant le délai de prescription d’un an.(?!) Récemment, la Commission a refusé d’entendre sa cause, de sorte que le « sergent Bob » n’a pas d’autre choix que de lancer un appel juridique coûteux devant les tribunaux. Cette affaire est importante pour nous tous parce qu’il s’agit d’une affaire fondée sur la Charte des droits et libertés et qu’elle enverra un avertissement à toutes les autres entités gouvernementales qu’elles ne peuvent pas faire de discrimination de cette façon.
*”Sgt. Bob » est un pseudonyme nécessaire pour protéger la vie privée d’une personne réelle. SCS et CFIC ont tous deux vérifié la légitimité de sa plainte en examinant des copies des documents qu’il a soumis à la Commission des droits de l’homme.
Veuillez faire un don par virement électronique à treasurer@secularconnexion.ca. Mettez votre courriel et « Soutenir le sergent Bob » dans la section de la note de service. Nous transmettrons les fonds directement au « sergent Bob » pour qu’il l’utilise, nous vous enverrons un reçu et une mise à jour sur le montant recueilli.
