Quebec’s secularism bill reached the Supreme Court this week. The highest court spent four days hearing from dozens of groups about the legality of the Quebec government’s use of the notwithstanding clause. The court could take several months to reach a decision.

For the 4th consecutive year, Mama Khan, a Pakistani restaurant situated in the Plateau-Mont-Royal, is giving out free iftar boxes for the month of Ramadan, alongside grocery baskets for the vulnerable. However, the month of Ramadan is not the only time during which they provide free meals. Since their opening, they have created and partaken in a myriad of initiatives fighting against food insecurity. To this day, they are working on making the neighborhood affordable and helping the community during times of crisis.
