Description

January 23–25 Montréal The ADGQ requested permission from the Commission des Ecoles Catholiques de Montréal (CECM)/Montreal Catholic School Commission to rent the Cardinal Newman School hall to hold its third orientation conference in April. The request was granted on January 25, but the decision was suspended on March 6 and reversed by the commission's executive on March 7, because they feared "the possible repercussions on the education of the CECM's children." The ADGQ lodged a complaint with the Québec Human Rights Commission and in June 1978 the commission ruled that the CECM had violated sections 10 and 12 of the Québec Human Rights Charter. This was the first time that the Québec Human Rights Commission had investigated a complaint of discrimination based on sexual orientation under the revised charter. (See also August 15, 1978.)
