Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission
  • Saskatchewan developed its first general human rights legislation in 1947, which was also the first province in Canada to enforce a Bill of Rights (even before the Canadian Bill of Rights).
  • However, it was not until 1972 that Saskatchewan established a Human Rights Commission.
  • The Commission, which remains today, acts as body that is responsible for enforcing Saskatchewan's anti-discrimination laws and promoting equality through public education and litigation.
