Manitoba Justice has appointed two new members to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission, including former Brandon police chief Ian Grant.

The MHRC is responsible for administering the Human Rights Code in the province, ensuring all Manitobans are treated solely on the basis of personal merit and free from discrimination.

Grant, who has been a member of law enforcement since 1980, was appointed to the MHRC alongside Tracy Leipsic, a speed-skating coach who has worked as an insurance broker and served on many community and non-profit boards.

Manitoba Justice also selected current MHRC member John Burchill to serve as vice-chair. He will assume the role from Loretta Ross, who will remain on the board and has been reappointed to a one-year term.

Burchill was reappointed to the MHRC in October 2017 and is currently a civilian manager with the Winnipeg Police Service.

In addition to having more than 25 years of experience as a police officer, Burchill served as a Crown attorney for Manitoba Justice and has taken training related to hate crimes and human rights.
