An Alberta court has granted an injunction against a provincial law that would prevent doctors from offering gender transition surgeries and medications to youth.

Premier Danielle Smith’s government introduced the legislation in October 2024, which was passed in December. It was one of three pieces of legislation introduced that deals with gender issues in the province, including gender transition procedures for youth, regulations for transgender athletes in female sports, and parental rights in schools.
