# Make a human rights complaint

Provincial or territorial service · Justice and safety

Compiled by Mahmoud Halat, checked 12 October 2026. Not a government website. The official page always has the final word.

## Short answer

If you faced discrimination at work, in housing or in services, complain to your province or territory's human rights commission or tribunal. Federally regulated employers and services go to the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

Each province and territory runs its own. Find yours in the table below.
