Babita Rana - Apr 27, 2023 - Red Deer, Alberta

Babita Rana, a computer programmer whose jobs shifted to remote work during the pandemic, was put on notice without pay for not complying with the university’s vaccine mandate. Her religious exemption was not considered and appeals were unsuccessful. Babita said, “I tried to express to them that this is something that I’m very passionate about. Who are they to judge my beliefs? I couldn’t understand it. It made me very frustrated, very angry.”
