→British Columbia Human Rights Code
===''British Columbia Human Rights Code''===
The [http://bclaws.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/96210_01 BC ''Human Rights Code''] is similar to the federal ''Human Rights Act'' but it applies to the provincial government and businesses it regulates. The ''Human Rights Code '' prohibits discrimination by schools, stores, restaurants, and rental properties. The [http://www.bchrt.bc.ca/ BC Human Rights Tribunal] enforces the Code and has more information. As well, check script [[Human Rights and Discrimination Protection (Script 236)|236]] and the [http://www.bchrcoalition.org/ BC Human Rights Coalition].
Deciding which human rights laws apply to cases involving Aboriginal people can be a complicated legal question. You should get legal advice about which laws apply to specific situations.
