Greetings,
According to local news sources, the Town of Mount Royal has decided not to display any religious symbols outside city hall. They will put an end to a 15 years tradition and take away a part of our heritage.
If each member of our community has the right to celebrate and display the symbols of their religion then the nativity scene or the menorah should be in front of the city-hall as they have been for the last 15 years. Their presents there was accepted by the majority of the population. In a democracy majority decisions are binding and the minority must accept them.
The signers of this petition agree that the nativity scene is a timeless tradition and desire to keep this tradition alive.
I really never thought this would gain so much traction when I started typing it out in my kitchen by the window. It is honestly bizarre to see so many people feeling that same twinge of frustration over the city hall changes because I was worried I was alone in caring about this.

15 years is a long time to just stop now. It really feels like part of the town spirit is being thrown away for no reason.

Disappointed in the town for this. Everyone should be able to see their holiday symbols displayed. It never hurt anyone.
