A law bars medical providers from giving certain care to young people. This care includes puberty blockers and hormone therapy for trans youth under 16. The goal of this ban is said to be preserving fertility, though research shows this is not a concern.

Backlash has been ongoing since the law passed. Groups advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and human rights organizations are among those speaking out. Further details about the situation and responses to the law are available from the source, including actions taken by the Saddle Lake Cree Nation.
