Saskatchewan's Appeal Court will hear a challenge to a law requiring parental consent for students under 16 to change names or pronouns.

Saskatchewan's Appeal Court will hear a challenge to a law requiring parental consent for students under 16 to change their names or pronouns. UR Pride, an LGBTQ+ group, argues the law harms gender-diverse youth and violates their rights. Alberta and New Brunswick support Saskatchewan's stance, emphasizing parental authority. The law has faced criticism for potentially forcing youth to disclose their gender identity. The court previously allowed the case to proceed despite government efforts to invoke the notwithstanding clause.
