The Court of King’s Bench of Alberta has overturned the acquittal of a Calgary pastor in connection to his protests of drag story time events, and ordered a retrial in the Alberta Court of Justice.
Pastor Derek Reimer was previously arrested and charged after protesting library drag queen story times for children between 2023 and 2024. In September 2024, a court acquitted him of causing a disturbance and mischief in connection with a Feb. 25, 2023, protest at a drag story time event at Calgary’s Seton library.
