Sabaah Khan, a volunteer at her children’s elementary school library in Montreal, was informed by the Riverside School Board that she could no longer participate due to Quebec’s Law 29, which bans religious symbols in public schools. This law prohibits parent volunteers, like Khan who wears a hijab, from engaging in school activities. The Supreme Court of Canada will hear challenges to this law on March 23, as it affects numerous school staff and volunteers across the province.
