Ontario Human Rights Code

The Ontario Human Rights Code is a law that protects individuals from discrimination and harassment in areas like employment, housing, and public services. It aims to ensure everyone is treated fairly regardless of race, gender, age, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics. The Code requires organizations to prevent discrimination and accommodate differences to the point of undue hardship. It also provides a process for individuals to file complaints if they believe their rights have been violated, promoting a more inclusive and equitable society in Ontario.
