Premier Danielle Smith says Alberta parents will need to give permission before a student aged 15 and under can use a name or pronoun at school other than what they were given at birth.

Smith, in a video posted to social media Wednesday afternoon, added that students who are 16 or 17 won’t require permission but schools will need to let their parents know first. 

Other policies announced by the premier include banning all children under 17 from having top and bottom surgery, though bottom surgery is already limited to adults and banning children aged 15 and under from taking puberty blockers
