There aren’t many education cases that make it to a hearing through the BC Human Rights Tribunal process. Especially in BC. However, every time they do, they advance the Human Rights Code in Education.
To the families who pursued their cases, not everyone had a “win” for themselves personally, but our community won. It is because of all of you for having done the hard emotional labour and sometimes at huge financial costs, that our kids have hope.
Only three of the cases listed on this page received a settlement.
However, these cases have left a legacy of advocacy tools for parents. These cases are the only advocacy tools that really have “teeth”.
