More transgender policies up for debate at UCP convention in November

Party policies are non-binding on the government, and member approval doesn't guarantee the ideas will become law

EDMONTON — United Conservative Party members will soon debate 35 policy resolutions that include banning transgender people from women’s washrooms, prohibiting non-binary gender identifiers on government documents, and ensuring trans medical treatments are not publicly funded.

The party’s annual general meeting begins Nov. 1 in Red Deer, where Premier Danielle Smith’s leadership will also be up for review.
