BC Human Rights Tribunal

An independent, quasi-judicial body created by the BC Human Rights Code.

Responsible for accepting, screening, mediating, and adjudicating human rights complaints.

Offers the parties to a complaint the opportunity to try to resolve the complaint through mediation.

Respondents have an opportunity to respond to a complaint and to apply to dismiss a complaint without a hearing.

If the parties do not resolve a complaint and the complaint is not dismissed, the Tribunal holds a hearing.

The BC Human Rights Clinic is able to assist some individuals who have filed a complaint.
