  1. 1. Background

    From: Fishing without fear: Report on the inquiry into assaults on Asian Canadian anglers

    On December 14, 2007, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (“Commission”) released its Preliminary Findings of the Inquiry Into Assaults on Asian Canadian Anglers. The goal of the Inquiry was to learn more about the nature of verbal and physical assaults reported by Asian Canadian anglers that occurred in regions of southern and eastern Ontario in the summer and fall of 2007. Additional goals were to:

  2. Aller de l’avant

    From: Vers des services d'accés facile : Rapport final sur l’initiative visant l’accessibilité des restaurants

     

    Les restaurants qui ont conclu des ententes volontaires avec la Commission sont devenus des chefs de file dans la planification et dans la progression vers les services accessibles pour tous les Ontariens et Ontariennes. Ils ont démontré que l’accessibilité peut être réalisée, et ce de manière constructive tant pour les propriétaires et dirigeants d’entreprises que pour leurs clients.

  3. 5. Emerging human rights protections

    From: Policy on preventing discrimination because of gender identity and gender expression

    5.1 Ontario

    In 1999, the OHRC took the position that the ground of sex under human rights law could be interpreted to include the right of transgender people to be free from discrimination and harassment.

    In 2000, the OHRC released its ground breaking Policy on discrimination and harassment because of gender identity (the original version of this policy). The OHRC and others successfully litigated that policy over the years, with tribunals and courts recognizing more and more the human rights of trans people.

  4. 7. Intersecting grounds

    From: Policy on preventing discrimination based on mental health disabilities and addictions

    Discrimination may be unique or distinct when it occurs based on two or more Code grounds. Such discrimination can be said to be “intersectional.” The concept of intersectional discrimination recognizes that people’s lives involve multiple interrelated identities, and that marginalization and exclusion based on Code grounds may exist because of how these identities intersect.

  5. A half-century of human rights

    From: Annual report 2012-2013 - Rights, Partners, Action!

    June 15, 2012 was the 50th anniversary of Ontario’s Human Rights Code – the first such code in Canada. To mark this important event, we worked with partners across Ontario to look back at how human rights had progressed over the 50 years, and to look ahead to the human rights of tomorrow. Highlights include a commemorative plaque and the “proclamation project” with municipalities across Ontario.

  6. Housing

    From: Human rights and the family in Ontario

    The ground of family status was added to the Code in 1982. Until 1986, the Code contained an exception permitting residential buildings or parts of residential buildings to be designated as adult only. Unlike in the areas of employment and services, there has been significant litigation regarding family status issues in the area of housing, particularly in the Ontario context.

    Novembre 8, 2021

    La CODP se réjouit d’entendre que l’université a l'intention de réviser en profondeur la politique sur les absences imposées par l’université intitulée University-Mandated Leave of Absence Policy (la Politique). Nous exhortons l'Université de Toronto à prendre le temps de s'assurer que l’on effectue une révision en bonne et due forme, comportant tous les éléments énoncés dans cette lettre, afin de cerner et de résoudre les préoccupations en matière de droits de la personne pouvant découler de la Politique et de sa mise en œuvre.
