  1. 5. Contexte des conclusions du rapport

    From: Réponse de la CODP au rapport Données sur la race et contrôles routiers à Ottawa

    Les conclusions du projet de collecte de données du SPO s’inscrivent dans un contexte de relations historiques entre les forces policières et les communautés racialisées et autochtones d’Ottawa et du reste du Canada. De nombreuses décisions de la Cour suprême du Canada et recherches ont démontré que la discrimination systémique est bien réelle dans le secteur du maintien de l’ordre. Les conclusions des chercheurs de l’Université York sont semblables aux conclusions d’autres recherches sur les partis pris au sein des forces policières.

  2. Thank you, Ruth Goba!

    From: Annual Report 2015 - 2016: Reconnect. Renew. Results.

    The Commissioners and staff at the OHRC extend a special thank you to Ruth Goba, who served as Interim Chief Commissioner from February 28 – October 30, 2015. While many people would be happy simply keeping things afloat when serving in an interim role, Ruth chose to go another way. She led us boldly through a challenging time of transition with vision, wisdom and a sense of humour. Ruth helped to build strong community partnerships and was an inspiring leader on carding and racial profiling, and laid a solid foundation for our continued work in this area.

  3. Chapter 5 - Stop and search: gaps in regulations, policies, and procedures

    From: From Impact to Action: Final report into anti-Black racism by the Toronto Police Service

    As set out with data and evidence in Chapter 3, Black persons across Toronto are disproportionately stopped and searched by the TPS.

    This systemic problem is a result of significant gaps in the provincial regulations, TPSB policies, and TPS procedures that govern police interactions with the public – especially in situations not involving arrests.

    Chapter 5 identifies these gaps and ways to close them to reduce random stops and searches.

     

  4. Under suspicion: Issues raised by Indigenous peoples

    Racial profiling is an insidious and particularly damaging type of racial discrimination that relates to notions of safety and security. Racial profiling violates people’s rights under the Ontario Human Rights Code (Code). People from many different communities experience racial profiling. It is often directed at First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other Indigenous peoples, as well as people in racialized communities. It is often influenced by the distinctly negative stereotypes that people in these communities face.

  5. OHRC Submission to the Independent Review of Police Oversight Bodies

    November 2016 - For nearly two decades, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) has raised concerns about systemic discrimination that are part of the culture of policing in our province. There have been far too many instances of racial profiling, discriminatory use of force on people with mental health disabilities and/or addictions, and racism and sexism in investigations of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Ontario to ignore. These incidents and related concerns have sparked multiple coroner’s inquests, recommendations, reviews and reports, stretching back for decades. Yet they all have failed to eliminate systemic discrimination in policing.
