Oct 21, 2023 | 8:00 AM

‘The “1 Million March for Children” protest, is set to get underway for a second time in Grande Prairie today. (Saturday, October 21)

According to social media, the rally is set to take place along 100 Avenue and 99 Street from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.

For those not aware, the group is protesting the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Curriculum, (SOGI), and other gender ideologies in schools, such as mixed-gender bathrooms and children choosing their pronouns, with the goal of removing these practices entirely from schools.

A local counter-protest has already been organized, with the Peace Country Progressive Alliance hosting a rally at City Hall, starting at 2:30 p.m.
