===Step 1. Make a complaint to the Human Rights Tribunal===
Get a '''complaint form''' from the Human Rights Tribunal, fill it in, and file it with the tribunal within '''six monthsone year''' of when the discrimination happened. If you wait longer than six monthsone year, your complaint may still be accepted if the tribunal believes it is in the public interest to accept it and no party will be prejudiced because of the delay.
You can get a complaint form from the tribunal’s website at [http://www.bchrt.gov.bc.ca/complaint-process/complain/file.htm bchrt.bc.ca], from the tribunal office, or at government agent offices. The tribunal can handle complaints only if the ''Human Rights Code'' covers them. It is important to give all the information that supports your complaint. You can file the complaint in person, by mail, fax, courier, or email.
