Alberta Human Rights Commission
The Alberta Human Rights Commission is the independent body that administers the Alberta Human Rights Act and resolves human rights complaints. Under the Act, physical disability, mental disability, and illness are protected grounds. The Commission handles complaints of discrimination in employment, goods, services, accommodation and facilities, and tenancy, and addresses the duty to accommodate. It does not handle only disability matters.
