Protests and counter-protests will be taking place in Calgary over gender ideology in schools, part of a larger, nation-wide demonstration on Wednesday.
The main protest has been organized by a public group calling itself "1MillionMarch4Children," which is against the instruction of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools.
The group wants to end those lessons, along with the use of gender ideology, mixed bathrooms and gender-specific pronouns.
In the meantime, several counter-protests have been organized to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ2S+ community.
The groups are calling the protest "hate-fuelled."

Eby's response stated that schools need to be a place where every student feels safe.
