This is what Ontario
is doing to help
develop understanding
between people.
As our society grows more diverse,
community tensions may arise from time
to time. Our responsibility is to help
individuals, groups and communities
resolve any difficulties that may occur,
and reduce tension so that greater
understanding and respect may be
reached.
The Ontario Human Rights Code is
designed to assure the tights and dignity
of all persons without regard to race,
creed, colour. nationality, ancestry,
place of origin, age (40.65), sex and
marital status.
In addition to investigating and
mediating complaints of discrimination
in such areas as employment, housing,
public services and facilities, job
advertisements and the posting of signs
and notices, the Ontario Human Rights
Commission works fot healthier relations
between groups at the community level.
