Speaking notes for Marie-Claude Landry, Ad. E., Chief Commissioner, Canadian Human Rights Commission
The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) is proud to help launch a new guide that will help Canadian teachers better understand and provide support to students living with the effects of geopolitical violence and Islamophobia.
On International Human Rights Day let’s be honest with ourselves — let’s tell it like it is. People in Canada continue to be bullied, harassed, or denied services because of who they are.
A settlement has been approved by the Canadian Human Rights Commission (the Commission) between a complainant who identities as transgender (the Complainant) and Transport Canada.
“The Canadian Human Rights Commission is very pleased with this decision. Recognizing the work that has been done by the Parties since January 2016, the decision will bring much needed focus in implementing what remains to be done as soon as possible. As we have said consistently throughout this process, too many children living in care continue to wake up without having seen a measurable difference or improvement in their day-to-day lives. That, above all else, is the true measure of success, and the Commission is eager to move forward with all parties to make that happen.”
"One year ago today, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal issued a landmark decision in support of child welfare services for Indigenous children on reserve. This was an important milestone on Canada’s path towards reconciliation, and in that spirit, the Canadian Human Rights Commission continues to urge all Parties to sit down together and work collaboratively on this decision’s implementation. “
