Known for her intellect, compassion, and deep commitment to justice, she stepped down from her role in January following surgery but remained a guiding force until her passing on September 3rd. Dawn Pentelechuk now serves as acting chief justice. Before ascending to the top judicial post in February 2023, Khullar built a legendary career championing human rights, privacy, and equality — including landmark Supreme Court cases on LGBTQ+ rights and sexual assault victim protections. Her legacy is one of quiet strength, cultural pride rooted in Canadian identity, and an unwavering belief that law must serve people. The Alberta Court of Appeal called her a “dedicated leader, colleague, and friend” whose impact will be profoundly missed.
