Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario

The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario is a court-like body that resolves disputes related to violations of the Ontario Human Rights Code. It hears complaints about discrimination or harassment based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, disability, or age, in areas like employment, housing, and services. The Tribunal’s goal is to promote fairness and equality by providing an accessible, impartial process for individuals to seek resolution without traditional courtroom procedures. It can order remedies like compensation or changes to prevent future discrimination.
