Human Rights Protection
|
The
Human Rights Code protects British Columbians
from discrimination in areas such as employment,
housing, and services and facilities customarily
available to the public. Protection
from Discrimination [PDF] gives a brief description
of the coverage provided by the Human Rights Code.
More information about the Human Rights Code
is available by following the links to the information
sheets listed below, and from the B.C.
Human Rights Coalition.
The independent Human Rights Tribunal is responsible
for dealing with complaints under the Human Rights
Code. Information about the Tribunal, including
detailed information about how to file a complaint,
is available from the BC
Human Rights Tribunal.
