The Calypso water park, along with a number of other businesses, is the subject of of a human-rights tribunal complaint in Ontario concerning the right of women to bare their chests in public.

With regards to that complaint, a press release issued by the Calypso Valcartier Group said that the company respected the rights of all Canadian citizens “including those of children who are looking for a magical experience at its theme parks.”

Massicotte said that the decision was not prudish, and simply reflected the wishes of the company’s family clientele.
