Residents of a small Alberta town will cast their ballots next year on a proposed bylaw that would prohibit social, political, and ideological symbols such as Pride rainbows on crosswalks and public flagpoles.

The move comes five months after a crosswalk was painted in Pride colours in Westlock, a town of 4,802 north of Edmonton.
