The Human Rights Legal Support Centre website provides information on how discrimination is defined in the “Code”, how Ontario`s human rights system works, and fact sheets and tips on how to prepare and apply for help. The Human Rights Legal Support Centre (HRLSC) provides human rights advice to people across Ontario who have experienced discrimination that contravenes the Ontario Human Rights Code. Our services may include legal assistance in filing applications with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) and legal representation in mediation and hearings.
