Amid Push to Keep Rainbow Crosswalks, Campaigns Heat Up Ahead of Neutrality Bylaw Plebiscite in Alberta Town

The battle over a neutrality bylaw in a small Alberta community is heating up ahead of a plebiscite as some elected officials face off against a citizen group to get the most votes out. The bylaw would ban flags that are not government ones such as pride flags and require crosswalks to only be painted white, in a bid to remain neutral.

Westlock’s town council was forced to deal with the issue after a local group presented a petition with about 700 signatures, calling for a bylaw. At a Nov. 27, 2023, council meeting, it was decided to put the issue to a plebiscite, scheduled for Feb. 22.
