Right now, Alberta kids are NOT allowed to attend group MUSIC & PERFORMING ARTS programs in person. 

Right now, Alberta kids ARE allowed to attend group SPORTS and DANCE programs in person.

Does this MAKE SENSE?

Why is it SAFE for kids to DANCE or play SPORTS together but it is NOT safe for them to take part in MUSIC and PERFORMING ARTS together?

Premier Jason Kenney and the Emergency Management Cabinet Committee will meet on MONDAY, MARCH 1, 2021. They ALONE can change this DISCRIMINATION against Alberta Music & Performing Arts kids.

In signing this petition, I acknowledge that Alberta Music & Performing Arts kids deserve the SAME OPPORTUNITIES as sports and dance kids.

As a citizen of Alberta, I want my voice to be heard.

Our kids have suffered ENOUGH.
