Programs & Services:

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal is an independent, quasi-judicial body created by the B.C. Human Rights Code to resolve complaints of discrimination under the Code. The Tribunal is responsible for receiving, screening, mediating and adjudicating human rights complaints. It does not investigate complaints. The Tribunal offers the parties to a complaint the opportunity to try to resolve the complaint through mediation. If the parties don’t resolve the complaint, the Tribunal holds a hearing.

The Tribunal deals with human rights complaints that arise in British Columbia and are covered by the BC Human Rights Code. The Tribunal cannot deal with any other type of discrimination outside of this jurisdiction. For more information about the Tribunal, see the Tribunal’s website for a discussion of your human rights and duties.
