If you'd like to let the Legion know you disagree with their decision you can email admin264@shaw.ca or call 403-283-5264

Colleague Jo Horwood and I tried to find out, how many books were pulled off Alberta school shelves as a result of the gov't order? And what books were they?

CAIABB stands against all book bans. Books should never be secretly and silently removed from the shelves.
