Gord Wyant won't be a part of Saskatoon's Pride events due to his connection with the Sask. Party.Gord Wyant, a former Sask. Party MLA who is running in Saskatoon’s mayoral race is taking a step back from the city’s Pride events out of what he says is respect for the organizers., a new law that prevents children under 16 from changing their names or pronouns at school without receiving parental consent, in October of last year.
He said he’ll be having a conversation with them after the festivities have finished, pointing out that he didn’t cast that final vote on Bill 137.Wyant said the first two votes were procedural to send the matter to the committee so that it could be debated.“I didn’t feel comfortable with the legislation and that’s the reason I wasn’t there. I took the opportunity to be at another event that day.”
