Posted: Jan 25, 2021 5:28 PM CT | Last Updated: January 25 Saskatoon administration has drafted a bylaw that would make it illegal to try to change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. (John Robertson/CBC) comments Saskatoon city council has approved a draft bylaw that would ban conversion therapy within city limits. In a 10-1 vote, councillors agreed to have administration bring the bylaw forward at an upcoming council meeting for consideration. It will need to pass three readings in council before becoming law. Ward 5 Coun. Randy Donauer was the opposition vote. The bylaw would make it illegal for businesses to provide conversion therapy, which is defined as a service intended to change someone's sexual orientation or identity. Anyone providing conversion therapy could face a fine of $10,000 for individuals or $25,000 for corporations.
