Terri Pelton

Terri Pelton is Alberta's Child and Youth Advocate, known for her commitment to advocating for the rights and well-being of vulnerable young people in the province. Recently, she has been in the news for opposing a proposed government bill that would limit investigations into the deaths of young adults involved with the child intervention system by capping reporting at age 20. Pelton emphasizes the importance of tracking long-term outcomes for youth in care to improve services and support for those transitioning out of the system.
