Our Founder

KnowMyRights.ca and all its satellite sites were founded by A M Monjur Hassan, an IPTV Platform and Service Administrator at Beanfield Metroconnect Inc. and a graduate of Concordia University. With over nine years of experience in Canadian telecom operations at Rogers Communications and Beanfield, Monjur brings deep expertise in regulated infrastructure, compliance processes, and service delivery.

Outside his professional career, Monjur spent years personally navigating federal regulatory complaint processes through the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC), and the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC). That direct experience, combined with hundreds of hours of self-directed legal research, revealed how scattered and inaccessible Canadian legal information is for ordinary people. KnowMyRights was built to solve that problem.

Monjur is not a lawyer or paralegal. This platform is an information aggregation service, similar to Steps to Justice and CLEO, not a legal advice practice. All content is sourced from official Canadian government websites and legislation.
