About Us:

The Alberta Human Rights Commission works with Albertans to promote awareness of, and appreciation for, human rights and diversity.

Its overall goal is to develop inclusive communities in which all Albertans have the opportunity to participate in the social, economic, and cultural life of the province without discrimination.

The Alberta Human Rights Act establishes the Alberta Human Rights Commission to carry out functions under the Act. The Commission is an independent Commission created by the Government of Alberta.

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.
