Alberta Delays School Flag and Anthem Rules | Calgary News

Alberta’s government is delaying key school policy changes originally set for September, including flag display rules and mandatory weekly national anthem playing, to ensure smooth rollout and proper support. While these specific measures are paused, other parts of the bill — like a student code of conduct banning violence and restricting political stances by school boards — remain on track. Teachers are now required to present all subjects neutrally, sparking backlash from the union. The flag policy, which could limit displays like the Pride flag, has raised concerns about student inclusion. Officials say they’re committed to the changes but want to proceed thoughtfully, with ongoing consultation and resources to guide schools when policies finally take effect.
