Residents of Westlock, Alta., will vote in a plebiscite in February on a proposed bylaw that would force the town to remove its only Pride crosswalk, painted last summer.
Town council voted unanimously Nov. 27 to hold a municipal plebiscite on a proposed “crosswalk and flagpole” bylaw which would ban crosswalks or flags that support “political, social, or religious movements or commercial entities.”
The proposal aims to keep public spaces politically neutral in the town 90 kilometres north of Edmonton.
