Ontario Human Rights Commission

The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) was established as an arm’s length agency of government in 1961 to prevent discrimination and to promote and advance human rights in Ontario. Their website offers an overview of key initiatives aimed at addressing systemic discrimination, with a particular focus on combating anti-Indigenous and anti-Black racism in healthcare and education. The OHRC’s efforts include collaborating with Indigenous partners to develop policy guidance and recognizing significant contributions to the advancement of human rights.
