Sask. Court to Deliver Decision on Legal Challenge Against Province’s Pronoun Policy

SASKATCHEWAN, AUG 11 – The legal challenge argues the law harms gender diverse youth and violates Charter protections, with nearly a dozen groups supporting the appeal, including Alberta's government.

  • On Aug. 11, 2025, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal is set to rule on the province’s appeal of a challenge to its school pronoun law.
  • The law, in force since 2023, requires parental consent if children under 16 want to change pronouns, and last year a judge allowed the challenge to continue despite the notwithstanding clause.
  • Lawyers for UR Pride amended their challenge, contending the law violates Section 12 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, citing irreparable harm to gender diverse youth.
  • In its ruling, the court affirmed a judge’s jurisdiction to decide if the law limits Charter rights and allowed UR Pride’s litigation to continue in the Court of King’s Bench.
  • With national interest, other provinces have responded, including nearly a dozen intervening groups such as Alberta’s government supporting Saskatchewan and New Brunswick revising its policy after Premier Susan Holt’s 2024 election.
