What Services Does the Centre Provide?

The Centre provides legal advice and assistance to individuals in communities across Ontario.

The Centre can help you:

• Resolve a dispute involving your rights under the Human Rights Code
• File an application to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario
• Take your application to mediation or at a hearing before the Tribunal
• Enforce an Order of the Tribunal if the Tribunal finds that you have experienced discrimination

Legal services, including representation, are provided on a stage-by-stage basis – for settlement negotiations, for filing, for mediation and for the hearing. This allows us to match the level and extent of service at each stage to a number of factors including the needs of the individual, the merits of the claim and the complexity of the evidentiary and legal issues.
