Human Rights Commission Review: engagement

The Government of Nova Scotia is reviewing its Human Rights Commission and the Human Rights Act to make sure they reflect the needs of people today. Share your feedback and help shape how human rights are protected and how complaints are resolved in the future.

About the engagement

The Government of Nova Scotia is modernizing how the Human Rights Commission works, both in protecting and promoting people’s rights and in resolving human rights complaints.

As part of this review, we’re asking Nova Scotians to share their experiences and ideas. If you’ve filed a human rights complaint or have thoughts about how the process could work better, we’d like to hear from you.

The Department of Justice is working with Narrative Research to gather feedback from individuals and organizations across the province. Your input will help shape possible updates to the law and how the Commission operates.
