Complaints
Manitoba Ombudsman handles four broad types of complaints about Manitoba public bodies.
It’s important for you to know what type of complaint you want to make because:
- each type of complaint has different requirements – some must be made on a specific form, while for others, you have options (for example, you can use our online form or write a letter)
- our jurisdiction (which public bodies you can complain about) changes, depending on the type of complaint.
Below are links to relevant information about each type of complaint.
