Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi condemned the anti-LGBTQ2S+ protest.
"The protest taking place tomorrow, guised as protecting our children, will actually cause tremendous harm to our 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, their families, and allies," Sohi said on social media.
"These views are not reflective of Edmonton’s values of diversity, inclusivity, compassion, and understanding."
