The controversial bill, passed in March 2015, mandates that schools must form a gay-straight alliance or club if requested by students.

It also guarantees children who identify as transgender access to their preferred bathroom or change room — decisions the Parents for Choice in Education (PCE) disagree with.

A petition started by the PCE calls for amendments or a total recall of Bill 10.

“Our main mandate is to push for excellence in education in Alberta for every single student, and we think that’s best met by maximum parental choice,” said PCE executive director Donna Trimble.
