This is what Ontario is doing to help solve them in advance. Recently arrangements were made for a group of Indian children to attend the public school in a northern Ontario town. The principal of the school in the town was aware that Indian children sometimes had a rough time at the hands of other students, and to try to forestall this kind of situation, he called in a Human Rights Commission counsellor to talk to the other children. The counsellor asked thetchildren if any of them had ever moved to a new school, and what they thought it would feel like if they were the strangers. In this way he helped them understand how the Indian children would be feeling when they ar- rived, and the integration proceeded relatively smoothly. Community Counselling is one of the major roles of your Ontario Human Rights Commission. We hold seminars and dis- cussions with police in areas where there are communication barriers between them and minority groups, to help relieve ten- sion and promote mutual understanding. We attend meetings of immigrants and native-born minority groups to explain to them both their rights under the legislation and their responsibilities as citizens of this Province. We also help bring people into contact with local agencies like home-and-school groups, community and government agen- cies, and churches, which are available to help but which many people don't even know exist. Wherever there's a difficulty based on race, language, colour or creed, the Human Rights Commission is available to generate discussion and motivate people to develop understanding and re- spect for the other's point of view. Our job is to help bring people together and encourage healthier relationships among all groups.
