Group sues Quebec City for cancelling July show of U.S. Christian singer Sean Feucht
Burn 24/7 Canada seeks $7,610 in damages and venue costs, claiming Quebec City unlawfully infringed freedom of religion, expression, and assembly by canceling a controversial concert.
- On Nov. 14, Burn 24/7 Canada Worship Ministries filed a lawsuit in Quebec Superior Court after Quebec City cancelled an ExpoCité booking set for July 25, naming Sean Feucht as a respondent.
- Quebec City cited reputational concerns, stating an 'artist who generates significant controversy has consequences for ExpoCité's reputation,' relying on a broad contract clause, the lawsuit says.
- The lawsuit alleges Burn 24/7 Canada Worship Ministries signed a lease on July 4, paid $2,609.93 on July 14, and seeks that plus $5,000 in damages, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announced.
- The Quebec City mayor's office declined to comment, and François Moisan told CBC, `If we did, we won't be commenting on it`, as the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms considers additional legal challenges.
- The JCCF says the case is part of a wider pattern as it considers other legal challenges amid cancellations across multiple Canadian cities, while the City of Montreal fined a church $2,500 after hosting Feucht.
