Guide to your rights and responsibilities under the Human Rights Code /

Part II – Interpretation and application

You cannot be discriminated against because of your association, relationship or dealings with another person identified by a Code ground. You have this protection whether or not you are identified by a ground in the Code.

Example:

  • A restaurant owner refuses to serve you because you are with someone who is a member of a racialized group.
  • A landlord refuses to rent an apartment to you because your co-tenant is a woman with a young child.
