The Charter of Rights plays an important role in the work of most tribunals. Many may rely on the Human Rights Act in the course of making a decision.
We are excited to announce that the Human Rights and Charter Values for Tribunals course is coming to Edmonton in April! This two-day course covers the essential features of both the Charter of Rights and the Human Rights Act. It is relevant to tribunal members, advocates and staff.

- Decision-makers in areas likely to encounter human rights issues. This could be any administrative tribunal but principally in the areas of human rights, workers’ compensation, employment standards, social assistance, student loans, landlord tenant, immigration, and pensions.
- Administrators of decision-makers in these areas
