New Brunswick students under the age of 16 who identify as trans and non-binary won't be able to officially change their names or pronouns in school without parental consent.
Education Minister Bill Hogan made the announcement today as he unveiled his government's highly anticipated reform to the province's policy on sexual orientation in schools, known as Policy 713.
The new policy says the preferred first names and pronouns of students aged 16 and older will be used consistently in ways that the students request.
