The Office of Human Rights & Harassment (OHH) provides programs and services related to discrimination and harassment based on any of the 17 prohibited grounds identified in the Ontario Human Rights Code as well as workplace harassment (personal/psychological harassment and sexual harassment) under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The OHH believes in a collaborative, inclusive and individualized approach.

What We Do

The OHH ensures that human rights are respected and instilled throughout Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber.

Increase Awareness

• We provide human rights training and harassment/discrimination prevention education through workshops and educational resources.
• We deliver a speaker series on human rights and equity topics.
• We provide group and one-to-one customized support and resources on human rights and harassment.

Ensure Legislative Compliance

We lead and coordinate compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, the Anti-Racism Act, Employment Equity Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Ontario Human Rights Code and the O. Reg. 131/16: Sexual Violence At Colleges And Universities through policy development and targeted educational awareness and communication strategies.

• We support the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action.
• We promote college and community-wide initiatives to increase representation among faculty and staff in the four employment equity designated groups (Indigenous people, women, racialized people and persons with disabilities) and persons with diverse gender and sexual identities. If you haven’t completed the Employment Equity Questionnaire, please consider doing so today.

Ensure Timely Complaints Resolution

• We investigate formal complaints pursuant to Humber’s human rights-related policies.
• We provide informal intervention into human rights and harassment-related concerns through consultation, mediation, conciliation and referrals to internal and external resources.

Through a collaboration between the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre, the LGBTQ+ Resource Centre, and the 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) at Humber, we honour the identities and self-expression of two-spirited, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex members of our community, students, staff, and faculty.
