Janis Irwin A Canadian politician who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the 2019 Alberta general election. She represents the electoral district of Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood as a member of the Alberta New Democratic Party. She serves as the Official Opposition Critic for Status of Women and LGBTQ2IA+ Issues. A teacher prior to her election, Irwin is queer, and is the only open LGBTQ2IA+ MLA in the Alberta legislature. She previously ran as the federal NDP candidate for Edmonton Griesbach in the 2015 Canadian federal election. Since being elected as a member of Legislative Assembly of Alberta, Irwin has been an advocate against conversion therapy by citing the harmful organization Journey Canada with its ties to this practice. Another issue Irwin has been strongly advocating on is the legal protections of gay-straight alliances (GSAs) in the education system in Alberta. |
