## Resource

Quebec’s new secularism law is hitting hard—starting September 1, public institutions like universities and transit agencies are banning prayer rooms, forcing employees and students to step off campus or company grounds during breaks if they wish to pray. Montreal’s STM shut down its four wellness rooms, while Université de Montréal is warning staff and security to eject anyone caught praying on campus. Even schools without prior prayer spaces, like UQAM, are preparing to comply. This marks a major shift in how religion is handled in Quebec’s public sphere—and the fallout is already underway.
