BC Human Rights Code

An excerpt from Know your Rights:
The BC Human Rights Code can be found on line at: http://www.qp.gov.bc.ca/statreg/stat/H/96210_01.htm

The BC Human Rights Code also recognizes that people with disabilities can face discrimination. A child’s right to access educational accommodations, facilities and services are covered in Section 8 (1) of the Code.
8 (1) A person must not, without a bona fide and reasonable justification,
(a) deny to a person or class of persons any accommodation, service or facility customarily available to the public, or
(b) discriminate against a person or class of persons regarding any accommodation, service or facility customarily available to the public because of the race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex or sexual orientation of that person or class of persons.”
