From Wikipedia:

Quote:
Some 78.5% of Saskatoon's inhabitants profess to be Christian, mostly Protestant (40.1%) and Roman Catholic (32.5%).[21] Another 19.6% of Saskatoon's inhabitants do not profess a religious faith at all.[21] Minority faiths include Sikhism, Buddhism (0.7%), Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam (0.6%).
In North America it seems most non-religious people celebrate some sort of Christmas, so if we assume that half of the non-religious folks in Saskatoon celebrate some sort of secular Christmas, that is about 88% of the population that celebrates Christmas. If I were to live in a city that was 88% Jewish or 88% Islamic, I would have no problem with their municipal governments catering to their religious beliefs and not mine.
