We caught up with Alberta Party Advanced Education Critic Myles Chykerda to get his thoughts on some of these changes!

There’s been a lot of developments surrounding education and the education minister in Alberta.

Particularly, there’s been a lot of confusion surrounding the recent education survey and secondary to that, why literally thousands of results were thrown out.

To help understand these developments around education as well as and some of the history behind those developments, we reached out to Sean Dunn with Support our Students.

This is my conversation with Sean

On May 25th, the City of Calgary joined the ranks of a growing number of municipalities taking a stand against conversion therapy and actually crafting a bylaw banning the practice of conversion therapy.

This didn’t come without some controversy though.

To help understand the controversy and some of the history behind it, we reached out to Dr Kristopher Wells.

Dr Wells has an extremely well established history of advocating for better protections for the LGBTQ community, and was one of the subject matter experts consulted by the city of calgary during the crafting of the new bylaw that has banned the practice of Conversion Therapy in Calgary
