EDMONTON — Alberta has taken steps to ban employers from requiring people to wear high heels at work. Labour Minister Christina Gray says the province is amending the occupational health and safety code that currently allows employers to make high heels mandatory. Ontario and British Columbia banned mandatory high heels in 2017 and Manitoba did the same this year. Gray said she heard from servers who said high heels were causing them pain and putting them at risk of tripping and falling. “Women still have the choice to wear high heels but they cannot be forced to, especially in unsafe working environments,” she said.
