A local civil liberties group will be debating gay-straight alliances Tuesday.
The Rocky Mountain Civil Liberties Association is holding two hearings in both Calgary and Edmonton to examine the issue of GSAs in Alberta schools.
The group will be hearing public presentations, as well as reading written submissions on the polarizing topic.
President Kelly Ernst says this is an opportunity to explore how human rights will be addressed by legislation, and to examine how children and youth deserve to be treated in the province’s schools.
The hearing in Calgary will be held at Craigie Hall (Block C) at the University of Calgary, and runs from 4 to 9 p.m.
