Overview

  • The Alberta Infrastructure Ministry said Feucht’s application sailed through the standard approval process after satisfying all security protocols and public-safety requirements.
  • The Revive in '25 – Let Us Worship concert is set for August 22 at Edmonton’s Legislature grounds as a free public event.
  • Parks Canada and city governments in Halifax, Charlottetown, Abbotsford, Moncton and other jurisdictions canceled or refused Feucht’s permits over projected crowd-control, emergency-access and inclusion concerns.
  • The Saskatoon concert remains scheduled for August 21, with legal adviser Marty Moore mobilizing support to defend organizers’ Charter-protected rights at other upcoming western stops.
  • The patchwork of approvals and denials has intensified discussions over reconciling Charter freedoms with authorities’ responsibilities to maintain public safety and inclusive access at public gatherings.
