US EditionAlberta's transgender ban in women's sports exempts visiting out-of-province athletes
ALBERTA, CANADA, JUL 12 – Alberta bans transgender athletes aged 12 and older from female amateur sports while exempting out-of-province competitors, part of broader United Conservative Party reforms.
- Beginning September 1, 2025, Alberta will prohibit transgender athletes aged 12 and up from participating in girls' amateur sports within the province.
- This regulation is among several measures related to transgender health, education, and sports that were implemented last year by the United Conservative Party administration under Premier Danielle Smith.
- The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, which hosts over 1,000 events annually including 40 to 50 with out-of-province competitors, faces challenges because the ban exempts visiting transgender athletes.

- The regulation’s enforcement will be complaint-driven, prompting concerns from detractors about privacy violations and increased public policing of women’s and girls’ bodies, while proponents argue the rules protect fairness on the playing field.
