News that the Higgs government is reviewing its policy on gender diversity and inclusion in schools has been met with protest. 

Policy 713 is meant to create “minimum requirements” for safe environments for LGBTQ+ students in schools. 

On Saturday, May 13, a Rally for Policy 713 and Pride in Education took place in Fredericton. The NB Media Co-op was there to document the event.

Valerya Edelman is a Fredericton-based social worker and community organizer.

A group of people gather outside a stone building for a rally supporting Policy 713, which protects LGBTQ2+ students in New Brunswick schools. Participants hold colorful signs and Pride flags, with messages such as “Queer and Trans Students Matter,” “Policy 713 is about respect,” and “Queer education is non-negotiable.” Many attendees wear masks, and one person in the foreground holds a Pride flag and a coffee cup.
