Beyond Local: Critic warns of ‘death of reconciliation’ as two laws jeopardize cultural training for lawyers – Western Wheel
Dec. 15, 2025
The government says all allowable training required by professional regulating organizations must be about competency and ethics.
UCP legislation that some call anti-woke appears to spell the end of mandatory training about Indigenous cultures for most practising Alberta lawyers.
From the floor of the legislature and in interviews with The Macleod Gazette, critics warned that two bills passed during the final week of the fall sitting dial back truth and reconciliation.
One critic went further, saying the bills represent “the death of reconciliation” in Alberta governance.
