British Columbia’s parental fight over SOGI 123 (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity resources) produced two documented government/board responses: a provincial Safe Access to Schools Act creating roughly 20-metre access zones around K–12 schools during school hours (May 2024), and local board votes that have so far kept inclusive-education framing — including an October 2025 Abbotsford defeat of a parental-notice motion.
Access zones target blocking and intimidation at the school gate — they do not, by themselves, rewrite SOGI curriculum.
Safe Access to Schools Act
BC Laws hosts the statute. CBC and the provincial news release (2024ECC0028) describe the zones as a response to disruptive protests often tied to anti-SOGI parental-rights demonstrations. Government framing: student safety and preventing intimidation/blocking — not a ban on peaceful speech outside the zones.
SOGI as election and board flashpoint
CBC’s 2024 election coverage treated SOGI 123 as a curriculum-inclusion vs parental-rights contest. Surrey’s “1 Million March for Children” anti-SOGI protest drew local coverage (Surrey Now-Leader); treat turnout claims carefully — do not invent headcounts.
Abbotsford vote (Oct 2025)
A trustee motion for roughly one week’s parental notice before elementary/middle SOGI-resource use failed; a counter-motion reaffirming inclusive education passed. That is a documented local loss for the notice agenda, not a province-wide referendum result.
Bottom line
B.C. paired protest buffer zones with board majorities defending SOGI. Parental notice remains contested at the trustee table.
