Saskatoon parents are protesting after a man who identified as a female repeatedly walked around naked in the girls changing room during young children’s swimming lesson times at the Shaw Centre..The protest happened at Saskatoon City Hall on Saturday and had about 25 people at it in the frigid weather. And they vow they will be back next Saturday at 2 pm...Buffalo Party’s Mark “Grizzly Patriot” Friesen said the weather did not help with the turnout and they will be back..“-33C with windchill kept some people away, I guess. Next weekend it’s on again. We can’t stop until we get the policy changed. We have to protect the kids. #stopthepedos Thanks to everyone who braved the cold!” tweeted Friesen..The man has walked repeatedly around the changing room with no towel or underwear. So, everything can be seen by little girls while they change for their swim classes..

No towel, no underwear,” said a parent in a Facebook group..Parents have complained to the Shaw Centre about the man who identifies as transgender..The Shaw Centre staff told parents that anyone could use whatever change room aligns with their gender identity..“I have spoken with a supervisor and was told anyone can use any change room based on what gender they identify with,” said a parent in a Facebook group..The Western Standard called the Shaw Centre and was told the same policy..Friesen and others have posted to social media asking for Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark and Premier Scott Moe to intervene..“This is the position of @cityofsaskatoon and @charlieclarkyxe. He should resign immediately. @PremierScottMoe where are you?” tweeted Friesen.. Sask Protest Roadside Jan 28 2023 .Moe’s government responded to the Western Standard’s inquiry with "the government of Saskatchewan is aware of the concerns raised by parents. As the concerns involve operations of a municipal recreation facility, this would be most appropriately addressed by the municipality responsible.”.Moe kicked it back to the municipality, taking no action..The Western Standard did not receive a response from Clark..The parents are considering going to the police and having the man charged with indecency. .Kelsey on Twitter called out Clarke and the city for their “virtue signalling” and harming children..“The woke @cityofsaskatoon and @charlieclarkyxe have some serious explaining to do. Do you seriously stand for this?! Virtue signalling that this is #inclusive at the expense of our children is beyond disgusting. This is a call out to change policy to protect our kids! #yxe,” tweeted Kelsey.
