The head of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights has been reappointed to a second five-year term.
Isha Khan has served in the role of director and CEO since August 2020. On Friday, her position was renewed by the Canadian government to begin August 17, 2025.
A Winnipeg native and human rights lawyer, Khan previously served as executive director and senior counsel of the Manitoba Human Rights Commission, where she led efforts for nearly a decade to educate the public, address systemic inequalities and uphold human rights in the province.
“Under her leadership, the CMHR has made significant strides over the past five years to strengthen its commitment to equity and inclusion, expand community engagement initiatives, and advance reconciliation efforts with Indigenous communities,” the Department of Heritage said in a release.
