United Conservative Party members have proposed a resolution requiring parental notification whenever a student under 16 wants to change their name or pronouns at school.Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she is looking forward to a vigorous policy debate at the upcoming UCP AGM.
Kristopher Wells, an associate professor and the Canada Research Chair for the Public Understanding of Sexual and Gender Minority Youth at MacEwan University in Edmonton, said he is disappointed but not surprised the pronouns resolution is in the policy package. Premier Danielle Smith won the UCP leadership in 2022 with the backing of Take Back Alberta, an anti-vaccine, anti-lockdown activist group, whose leadership is opposed to transgender rights and believes parents need to fight back against a so-called "woke ideology" in the school system.
This year's annual general meeting set for Nov. 3 and 4 in Calgary was moved to a larger venue due to a surge of registrations.
