The Commission processes Inquiry Forms based on the last date of discrimination identified.  As each situation is different, it is difficult to provide an estimate of when a full assessment of an Inquiry Form will be completed.  In accordance with the NS Human Rights Act, all Inquiries will be assessed fully within 12-months of the last date of discrimination identified.  

The Commission acknowledges it can be difficult to discuss the matters outlined within the Inquiry Form. If you need support, please contact the United Way’s 2-1-1 service. They can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, online at NS.211.ca, by phone or text 211.
