I, Ashu M. G. Solo, filed the following:

1. Civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Mayor's Office) and Councillor Randy Donauer for prayer recitations at government organized events

2. Code of Conduct complaint against Mayor Don Atchison for potential online campaign advertising violations

3. Civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Saskatoon Transit Services) for promoting holidays from only one religion on city buses

4. Human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (Executive Committee) for retaliating against me by not reappointing me to the Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Committee and not appointing me to another civic committee or board

5. Human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (City Solicitor’s Office) for retaliating against me by trying to deprive me of my right to directly communicate with members of City Council and by telling employees of other City of Saskatoon departments to not talk to me

6. Human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Office) and City of Saskatoon (Living in Harmony Ad Hoc Subcommittee of Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Committee) for retaliating against me by not considering my submissions to the Living in Harmony Contest

This site contains my media releases, some case documents, emails to City Council, etc.

I don't waste my time arguing with opponents.

The backlash makes me much more determined to fight against bigotry and shows the need for these civil rights cases, so I'll be filing more civil rights cases. You ain't seen nothing yet.

MEDIA ADVISORY: Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission Finds Reasonable Grounds to Proceed with Complaint against Councillor Donauer and City of Saskatoon (Mayor’s Office)

MEDIA ADVISORY:  Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission Finds Reasonable Grounds to Proceed with Complaint against Councillor Donauer and City of Saskatoon (Mayor’s Office)

SASKATOON, SK, Feb. 19, 2013 - The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has completed a legal opinion finding that there is sufficient evidence of reasonable grounds to believe that the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code was violated when Mayor Don Atchison called on Councillor Randy Donauer to try to lead a diverse audience in a Christian prayer on April 18, 2012 at a Volunteer Appreciation Banquet organized by the Mayor's Office.  SHRC found that there is reasonable grounds to believe that the prayer recitation violated the freedom of conscience guaranteed by section 4 of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code and discriminated on the prohibited grounds of religion and creed contrary to section 12 of the code.

Therefore, SHRC will be proceeding with a formal complaint by Ashu M. G. Solo against Donauer and the City of Saskatoon (Mayor’s Office).  Before there is a hearing on the complaint, it may be investigated and mediated. 

Solo filed the civil rights complaint on May 1, 2012 after Atchison and Donauer refused to stop having Christian prayer recitations at civic events.   “He who is clad in the armor of a righteous cause can defeat the armies of intolerance,” Solo said.
