The Province of Ontario will mark the 50th anniversary of the Human Rights Code – the first in Canada – in June, 2012.
The OHRC will celebrate a number of milestones in the coming months, culminating with the anniversary of the Human Rights Code. These milestones include the 30th anniversary of the legislature passing the 1981 Code which added protections against discrimination the grounds of disability, citizenship, family status, record of offences and receipt of public assistance, and the 25th anniversary of the legislature amending the Code to prohibit discrimination because of sexual orientation.
