These questions are designed to help you identify if you have a human rights claim.
Question 4
Did the discrimination happen in Ontario or involve an Ontario-based employer, landlord, or service provider?
Note: If the discrimination happened outside of Ontario, but with an Ontario employer during, for example, a business trip or company party, please click “Yes”.
Information about wearing masks and mandatory Covid-19 vaccination
Disability has a specific meaning under the Code. The mere fact that you may have a disability does not necessarily mean that being required to wear a mask or take a vaccine is contrary to the Code. Every case must be assessed on its own facts. Please refer to the Ontario Human Rights Commission’s policy on discrimination based on disability for more information.
Creed (religion) also has a specific meaning under the Code. The mere fact that you may have a creed (religion) does not necessarily mean that being required to wear a mask or take a vaccine is contrary to the Code. Again, every case must be assessed on its own facts. Please refer to the Ontario Human Right’s Commission’s policy on discrimination based on creed for more information.
