Alberta UCP Members Adopt Measures on Parental Rights, Immigration, and Flag Policy

Delegates cast their votes at the 2023 United Conservative Party annual general meeting in Calgary. Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian PressMembers of Alberta’s governing United Conservative Party passed nearly all proposed policy resolutions at this year’s annual convention, including measures to require parental review of sexual-education and gender-identity materials in schools, expand provincial control over immigration, and restrict non-governmental flags on public buildings.Attendees discussed 36 policy resolutions on Nov. 29, the second day of the UCP’s annual general meeting in Edmonton, which drew more than 4,200 members. Passed resolutions represent the party’s grassroots priorities but are not binding for the government to adopt.
