- The Human Rights Code has something built into
it called "enumerated grounds". These are groups that are
specifically protected against certain forms of discrimination listed
in the Code. Some examples of enumerated grounds include: race/ethnicity,
gender, physical or mental disability, marital status and sexual orientation.
To lay a discrimination complaint against someone under the Code, the
discrimination has to have occurred because you belong to one of the
groups listed.
- While the rights in the Charter are guaranteed,
section 1 of the Charter allows governments to limit these
rights if they do so in a way that can be reasonably justified.
- Under the School Act, public schools must be
secular (they can’t endorse religious beliefs). In this way, you could
say that they respect all religious and non-religious views by not promoting
any one view over others.
