About Us:

In Alberta, the positions of the Alberta Ombudsman and Public Interest Commissioner are held by the same person and the main offices are co-located in Edmonton.

There is a second Ombudsman office located in Calgary.

The Alberta Ombudsman provides oversight of the provincial government to ensure fair treatment through independent investigations, recommendations and education within Alberta government authorities, professional organizations, municipalities, and the Patient Concerns Resolution Process of Alberta Health Services.

Under the authority of the _Ombudsman Act_, the Ombudsman can investigate written complaints received from any individual or group or commence an investigation on his own motion or at the request of a Minister.

Under the authority of the _Public Interest Disclosure_ (Whistleblower Protection) _Act_ (PIDA), the Public Interest Commissioner oversees the disclosure and investigation of serious and significant matters in or relating to departments, public entities, offices of the Legislature and political offices, that are unlawful, dangerous to the public or injurious to the public interest.

PIDA protects employees who make those disclosures, and the Commissioner is also responsible for investigating complaints where employees allege reprisal action has been taken against them.

The Ombudsman/Public Interest Commissioner promotes a positive workplace culture and work-life balance. Professional learning and development are encouraged, and mentorship is considered an essential part of organizational success.

The office of the Ombudsman and Public Interest Commissioner is a great place to work
