Learn about your rights and responsibilities under the Ontario Human Rights Code

This module provides a basic understanding of rights and responsibilities under the Ontario Human Rights Code. It’s for information only. For human rights concerns, the Human Rights Legal Support Centre, a community legal clinic or a lawyer may be able to help you with your complaint (called an application) and/or provide legal advice.

There are 5 parts to this eCourse. Parts 1 to 4 are about the Code. Part 5 takes you through Ontario’s human rights system.

This is how the eCourse is set out:

• Part 1 is on the Code: preamble, social areas and grounds
• Part 2 is on the Code and types of discrimination
• Part 3 is on interpreting and applying the Code: harassment, the duty to accommodate, and exceptions to the Code.
• Part 4 asks the question, “What is discrimination under the Code?”
• And Part 5 is on Ontario’s human rights system: past and present.
