Join us for an afternoon of community learning with Alberta Human Rights Commission (AHRC). Happening Wednesday June 14th at 11:00AM!
Who we are and what we do:
In Alberta, the Alberta Human Rights Act protects Albertans from discrimination in certain areas based on specified grounds. The purpose of the Alberta Human Rights Act is to ensure that all Albertans are offered an equal opportunity to earn a living, find a place to live, and enjoy services customarily available to the public without discrimination.
The Alberta Human Rights Act establishes the Alberta Human Rights Commission to carry out functions under the Act. The Commission has a two-fold mandate: to foster equality and to reduce discrimination. It fulfills this mandate through public education and community initiatives, through the resolution and settlement of complaints of discrimination, and through human rights tribunal and court hearings.
The information session will cover our complaint process, including:
Steps to make a complaint
What happens with the complaint after it is accepted
The conciliation process
The review by the Director’s team
Decision by the Director and beyond
AHRC marks 50 years!
2023 marks 50 years since the Commission’s establishment in 1973. To commemorate this significant anniversary, the Commission has launched the #AB50for50 campaign. The campaign encourages Albertans to challenge themselves and others to spend 50 minutes learning more about human rights or supporting human rights organizations during the 50th Anniversary year.
