The Petition

Reasons for the petition

There is also an Online Petition

In addition to the official paper petition, there is also an online petition. Although it is not officially recognized by the Alberta Legislature, it demonstrates public support, raises awareness of the issue, and can catch the attention of media and other influential people.

By signing both petitions, you strengthen the impact of this effort — helping us be heard both online and in the halls of government.
