Human Rights

Visit Alberta's centre for human rights to learn more about the Alberta Human Rights Act. The E-learning page has videos that highlight various types of discrimination.

This site provides information about the Commission and human rights; there is also a glossary of commonly used terms (under Resources).

On these pages you'll explore the key court cases and laws that have shaped human rights in Canada since 1900. Teachers, be sure to check out the lesson plans.

This short video from Canada's Department of Justice presents the rights and freedoms that are part of the Charter.

Explore the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; learn about the different sections with "what it says" and "what it means". There are also teaching resources for educators.
