Abstract

This paper imagines different users of the sidewalk, with an emphasis on religious women, to explore the ways in which individuals and communities shape discourse in contemporary Canada. While approaches to “competing rights” often take the form of Charter modification, legislation, or litigation, the fragile intersection of faith and gender can be described through simple “sidewalk stories” of acknowledgement and interaction.

Keywords: Fundamental rights, religion, multiculturalism, diversity, women, faith, gender, Charter
