Discrimination can occur on various protected grounds, including race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, family status, disability, receipt of public assistance, or record of offences. These grounds are protected in areas such as employment, housing, services, and goods.

We offer assistance in filing complaints, navigating the Human Rights Tribunal process, and advocating for justice on your behalf.

Harassment Claims Under the Ontario Human Rights Code
At Vescio Legal Services, we understand how devastating harassment can be, especially when it occurs in violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code. Harassment, including sexual harassment, racial harassment, and harassment based on other protected grounds such as disability, gender, or sexual orientation, can occur in various settings like the workplace, housing, or public services. In the workplace, examples of harassment may include inappropriate comments, offensive jokes, unwanted physical contact, bullying, or discrimination in job assignments or promotions.
If you’ve experienced harassment, our experienced paralegal team is here to help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights. We provide legal assistance in filing harassment complaints, gathering evidence, and representing you before the Human Rights Tribunal to seek a fair resolution. Our goal is to ensure your voice is heard and that you receive the justice and compensation you deserve. Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss your case and learn how we can help you address harassment and prevent further violations of your rights.
Duty to Accommodate Under the Ontario Human Rights Code
Under the Ontario Human Rights Code, employers, landlords, and service providers have a legal obligation to accommodate individuals with disabilities and other protected grounds, to the point of undue hardship. This means that if you have a disability, need for religious observance, or other legitimate need, you are entitled to reasonable accommodations in the workplace, housing, or public services. Unfortunately, many individuals face challenges when their requests for accommodation are ignored or denied.
At Vescio Legal Services, our experienced paralegal team is dedicated to ensuring your right to accommodation is respected. We can help you identify potential accommodation issues, advocate on your behalf, and take the necessary legal steps to ensure that your rights are upheld. If you’ve been denied reasonable accommodation, contact us today for a free consultation to discuss how we can help you navigate the process and secure the accommodations you need to thrive.
Reprisal Claims Under the Ontario Human Rights Code
If you have experienced retaliation or reprisals for asserting your human rights, you may be entitled to protection under the Ontario Human Rights Code. Reprisals can occur when an employer, landlord, or service provider punishes or threatens to punish you for filing a complaint, participating in an investigation, or exercising your rights related to discrimination, harassment, or other protected grounds.
At Vescio Legal Services, we are committed to helping clients who have faced reprisals for standing up for their rights. Our experienced paralegal team will assist you in filing reprisal complaints, gathering evidence, and representing you in hearings before the Human Rights Tribunal. We will work tirelessly to ensure you are not punished for asserting your rights and help secure the justice and compensation you deserve. If you are facing retaliation, contact us today for a free consultation to discuss how we can support you in taking the necessary legal steps to protect your rights and hold the responsible parties accountable.
