Supreme Court to decide whether it will weigh in on Saskatchewan's school pronoun law
The law requires parental consent for children under 16 to change names or pronouns at school; the government invoked the notwithstanding clause for five years, officials said.
- The Supreme Court is set to decide today whether it will hear appeals in a challenge of Saskatchewan school pronoun law, first reported Nov. 6, 2025.
- Premier Scott Moe's government invoked the Charter's notwithstanding clause in 2023, barring children under 16 from changing names or pronouns at school without parental consent.
- The group and the province have appealed and asked Canada's highest court to expedite the case alongside a Quebec law challenge, with UR Pride's harm claim not supported by the source.
- Because the notwithstanding clause is invoked, the court cannot strike down the law but can issue a declaratory judgment, and earlier this year the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruled the group's challenge can continue.
- Public protests and similar provincial measures have framed the broader debate, as a rally in Regina on Jul 14, 2025, opposed Saskatchewan's pronoun law and highlighted Quebec's use of the notwithstanding clause.
