A Quebec religious group has filed a constitutional challenge against the municipality of Waterloo, Que., after it ticketed one of its members for going door-to-door to share its message about suicide prevention.

Groupe Jaspe, a Christian group based in Magog, Que., received two tickets in February worth several hundred dollars for violating a municipal bylaw requiring non-profit groups to obtain a permit for “selling, collecting or soliciting.”
