Canadian skaters back Skate Canada’s pause in Alberta over transgender athlete rules, citing inclusion and safety.

Canadian figure skaters support Skate Canada’s suspension of events in Alberta due to the province’s Fairness and Safety in Sport Act, which restricts transgender athletes from female categories. The organization cited its commitment to inclusive, safe environments, with skaters expressing solidarity and hope for future competitions if policies change. While Alberta’s premier criticized the decision, other national sports groups continue events there, highlighting ongoing national debates over inclusion and equity in sports.
