Trans* Human Rights 101: Human Rights Complaints for Employment, Housing and Service Discrimination in Alberta (Webinar)


The Canadian Bar Association (CBA) and Gender Diversity Alliance (SAGDA) Section is hosting a webinar called Trans* Human Rights 101: Human Rights Complaints for Employment, Housing, and Service Discrimination in Alberta.

Transgender, non-binary, Two-Spirit and gender non-conforming (trans*) people are a population that face very high levels of discrimination, harassment and violence in Canada. In 2015, the Alberta Human Rights Act was amended to add gender identity and gender expression as protected grounds. This means that trans* people are legally protected from discrimination in various settings including employment, housing, services and publications. However, many trans* people are not aware of their rights, how to file a human rights complaint or they may have anxieties and fears surrounding the process. In this free public workshop, Albertan human rights lawyers will explain the basics of trans* human rights in Alberta. Participants will be taken through a practical step-by-step guide, learning about reasons to file, what to expect, resources needed and potential emotional impacts. The audience will have opportunities to ask questions that address their specific concerns.

This workshop is primarily for trans* people in Alberta, but services providers, lawyers and allied community members are invited and should benefit from the conversation.

View more information and register for the webinar. There is no cost associated with attending this virtual event.

LESA – Were they AIPs? A Comprehensive Review of Adult Interdependent Relationships in the Estate Context (Webinar)


Can adult interdependent partners (AIPs) “live together” without actually living together?

Recent decisions from the Alberta Court of King’s Bench have shed new light on this complex issue. This webinar will break down the legal test for AIPs, explore key case law developments and examine real-world scenarios to help you confidently determine when parties do — or do not — meet the AIPs threshold.
