The Ombudsman works to create fairness in public services - this includes educating the public and the authorities about fairness in administration. These resources are meant to benefit public organizations and the citizens of the Yukon. Another valuable resource is our reports and court decisions. 

Fairness By Design

The Fairness by Design guide, updated in 2022, is an assessment tool that can be used by public organizations across Canada to ensure they have fair decision-making processes and are fair in the design and delivery of their programs. The guide was developed by the Canadian Council of Parliamentary Ombudsman (CCPO). The CCPO is comprised of provincial and territorial Ombudsman (Ombuds) whose mandate is to ensure people are treated fairly in the delivery of public services.

L’équité en tête
