Published by Carswell, 2011.

Description:

Human Rights Policy in Ontario sets out how the Ontario Human Rights Code can be interpreted and applied in dealing with human rights claims that come before various courts, tribunals, and the Supreme Court of Canada. For this reason, the general public, human rights lawyers, community advocates, as well as courts and tribunals, often reference this publication for clarification of rights and responsibilities.

The 2011 edition includes updates in all areas of the Code and introduces the Policy on human rights and rental housing – the first policy of its kind in Canada. It also contains an extensively revised Policy on preventing sexual and gender-based harassment.

Contents:

Policies and Guidelines
Ontario Human Rights Code
Ont. Reg. 290/98 – Business Practices Permissible to Landlords in Selecting Prospective Tenants for Rental Accommodation

For Further Information

This fifth edition of Human Rights Policy in Ontario marks a milestone for human rights in the province of Ontario. In 2011, the Ontario Human Rights Commission will celebrate 50 years building a climate of understanding and mutual respect for the dignity and worth of each person in Ontario. Since the Code was introduced, society's understanding of human rights has evolved, and protections under it have expanded to reflect these changes. Where the Code once covered six grounds – race, creed, colour, nationality, ancestry and place of origin, today there are 15 protected grounds including the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of gender, marital and family status, disability, and sexual orientation.
