A new Calgary bylaw banning protests near public pools, recreation centres, and libraries will be challenged in court by the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF).

The CCF said it is “deeply troubled by the recent decision by Calgary City Council to pass a blatantly unconstitutional bylaw that restricts protests,” in a March 16 news release.
