A pro-life group is appealing a decision from Saskatoon city hall.
Last month, an organization called Alliance for Life Saskatoon sought a proclamation for “Respect for Life Week” between Jan. 21-28.
The group says it’s meant to raise awareness around the importance of human life at all stages.
A city committee agenda says the initial request was denied as it didn’t comply with the city’s flag raising and proclamation criteria.

Grounds for denial include violations of city policies, bylaws or the charter of rights and freedoms.

The city recently made a policy change in choosing which flags and proclamations will be approved by the city clerk.
Administration said the new policy is intended to identify consistent standards and address basic protocol requirements.
The new policy specifies charitable organizations, cultural groups and sports teams as the only approvable flags.
