Announcing a new publication
for Albertans who are becoming parents
The Commission has co-produced a new publication for working adoptive and birth parents-to-be who live in Alberta.
Becoming a Parent in Alberta: What you need to know about human rights, maternity and parental leave, and benefits is available at no charge in English and French.
The attractive 63-page booklet covers:
- working and expecting: human rights related to pregnancy and childbirth
- time away from work: maternity and parental leave and benefits
- returning to work: ending maternity and parental leave and benefits
- where to get more information
It also includes a "To Do" checklist that will be useful to parents-to-be who are planning a leave from work and applying for Employment Insurance benefits.
Becoming a Parent in Alberta is a joint venture of the Commission, Alberta Human Resources and Employment, and Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. This one-stop resource provides comprehensive information from all three organizations.
Due to confidentiality concerns, the Commission cannot reply
to complaints of discrimination using the Internet.
Please contact the Commission by telephone or regular mail
if you have a specific complaint.
The Commission will make publications available in accessible multiple formats upon request. Multiple formats provide access for people with disabilities who do not read conventional print.
