Sikh Society of Calgary - Human Rights Recognition Award

Ms. Chotalia has Helped Sikh Canadians throughout her legal career. In 1994 and 1995, she had the privilege of arguing the Sikh "turban case"
Grant v. Canada A.G (1995) 125 D.L.R. (4th) 556 (F.C.A.) aff'd (1994) 81 F.T.R. 95  (F.C.T.D.)(Reed J.)  Sikh RCMP officer found to have a constitutional right to wear turban and government’s decision to accommodate him was required to protect freedom of religion:
 
  "The defendants and the intervenors, particularly the able argument of Ms. Chotalia for the Alberta Civil
Liberties Association, turn the plaintiffs' argument respecting discrimination
on its head.
They argue that the Commissioner's decision was designed to prevent discrimination occurring to Khalsa Sikhs.  As such they argue that that decision offends none of the provisions of the Charter, indeed that it is required by section 15 of the Charter." para 103
