Saskatchewan enforces law requiring parental consent for students under 16 to change names or pronouns.
Saskatchewan schools enforce province's pronoun law, requiring consent from parents for students under 16 to change names or pronouns. Some parents refuse, prompting schools to collaborate with families for communication. The law was introduced by the Saskatchewan Party government in August 2023, to include parents in children's lives. It uses the notwithstanding clause, allowing it to override certain Charter rights for up to five years. A court challenge is ongoing, with an appeal set for September.
