Groups like Take Back Alberta have actively been courting and training grassroots members since the last municipal election in order to wrest control from trustees they see as too politically progressive around social issues such as
2SLGBTQ+ rights and parental control.
David Parker, executive director of Take Back
Alberta (TBA), pointed to low voter turnout and a high proportion of acclaimed school trustee
candidates as keys to their success in the Oct 20 Alberta municipal election.
Low voter turnout & apathy around municipal elections help #DavidParker and his evangelical #TakeBackAlberta crew to slither into your kidsβ schools & education.
If you donβt want that, research your candidates & vote October 20.
TBA school trustee candidate in #SherwoodPark is Francis Poole.
