Where do human rights complaints go?

In Ontario most are filed with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, and there is a filing deadline.

How long do I have to file?

Generally one year from the last incident, with limited exceptions, so it is best not to wait.

Do I need a lawyer at the Tribunal?

You can represent yourself, but a lawyer helps with evidence, remedies and settlement discussions.

What outcomes are possible?

Remedies can include compensation, changes to policies, or other steps to address the discrimination.
