B.C.’s Human Rights Code educational sessions: Oct 4

We envision a province in which we are all free from inequality, discrimination, and injustice. These free, introductory educational sessions seek to educate the public about B.C.’s Human Rights Code, a human rights law relevant to everyone in the province. These sessions will be held throughout the year and they relate to three settings protected by the Human Rights Code: Housing, Employment and Services.

The upcoming session covers the areas of housing, employment and services. Whether you are a landlord, tenant, employer, employee, service provider or service  user, there is a legal obligation to have human rights protected in these areas.  Please join us during these interactive sessions and learn about your rights and responsibilities.
