Afternoon Workshop

 

Human Rights in Co-ops

 

British Columbia’s Human Rights Code helps make sure everyone can participate equally in daily life in our province. The Code protects individuals from harmful treatment called discrimination.

This workshop covers the basics of human rights. It includes what your housing co-operative can do to avoid discriminating and how how human rights disputes are addressed. Through case studies, you will learn how  the Human Rights Code affects the good governance and proper management of housing co-ops.

Workshop Facilitator: Pamphinette Buisa.
