Did you know Albertans have the right to ask if a current or former partner has a history of domestic violence?

Under Clare’s Law, you can request this information through the Government of Alberta to make informed decisions about your safety.

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their relationships and knowing your rights is an important step toward empowerment.
