๐A new legislation in British Columbia, the Safe Access to Schools Act, has come into effect, aiming to curb disruptive protests near schools. With 20 incidents reported since September, the law establishes 20-meter zones around school premises where certain activities, such as impeding access or interfering with educational activities, are prohibited. These restrictions apply during school hours and extracurricular activities, granting police the authority to issue tickets and make arrests. Premier David Eby emphasized the illegality of intimidating or harassing students during learning or playtime. Although details about the protests targeting schools were not disclosed, some have opposed the SOGI 123 resource, designed to foster inclusivity and safety for students of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Previously, pandemic-related legislation limited protests around schools, hospitals, and vaccine clinics, but expired last July.โ . ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข ๐๐ก๐๐๐ค๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ซ, ๐๐ก๐๐๐ค๐จ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐ฒ+๐ ๐๐๐-๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข@๐๐ก๐๐๐ค๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฐ.๐๐ @chackolaw.ca . . #BritishColumbia #SchoolProtests #SafeAccessToSchools #EducationLaw #SOGI123 #StudentSafety #Legislation #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
