Transgender allies gather in Calgary and Edmonton to rally against proposed government policies
Protesters gathered in both Calgary and Edmonton Saturday to support the province’s transgender community and express their dissatisfaction with new measures proposed by Premier Danielle Smith related to the province’s student gender identity, sports and surgery policies.
In Edmonton, hundreds of activists, allies and members of the transgender community gathered at Dr. Wilbert McIntyre Park in Old Strathcona.
In Calgary, hundreds attended the protest in front of city hall.
Representatives from the group 1 Million March 4 Children, which opposes gender identity education in schools, were also present in Calgary to demonstrate their support for the premier’s proposed policies.
On Thursday, Smith said her government will introduce legislation this fall to support the planned policy changes affecting transgender and non-binary youth and adults.
