The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission has a new commissioner.
Nasser Malik, who immigrated to Canada 25 years ago from Pakistan with his family, has been appointed to a five-year term. He has lived in Saskatoon since 2007 and works as a supervisor at PotashCorp's Cory mine.
He also volunteers at Saskatoon's Ahmadiyya Muslim community, a movement that spans 190 countries and promotes tolerance and peace.
"Mr. Malik will make an important contribution to our discussions and deliberations, particularly given his community roots, cultural background and his experience as a newcomer to Canada," David Arnot, chief commissioner of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, says in a news release.
Malik holds a degree in applied science and engineering from the University of Toronto and various profession certifications.
He joins Paul Favel, Jan Caitlin and Barry Wilcox, who were appointed to the commission in June, and Mike Bacon, who was appointed in 2009.
