  1. Protection of personal information and privacy safeguards policy

    From: Public interest inquiry into racial profiling and discrimination by the Toronto Police Service

    Protection of personal information and privacy safeguards policy:
    The Toronto Police Service racial profiling and racial discrimination inquiry

    November 6, 2017

    Introduction
    1. The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) recognizes the importance of protection of personal information.
    2. To protect human dignity and maintain public trust and confidence in the OHRC as an institution, the OHRC works hard to comply with all relevant laws that relate to the handling of personal information.
  2. OHRC Submission to the Independent Street Checks Review

    May 1, 2018 - Regulation 58/16: Collection of Identifying Information in Certain Circumstances – Prohibition and Duties (the “Regulation”) was developed in response to numerous reports of racial profiling in policing across the province, with the goal of “ensuring that police-public interactions should be conducted without bias or discrimination”.  Unfortunately, in our view, the Regulation has not lived up to this promise and, as currently framed, cannot achieve its goal. Racial profiling in policing remains an ongoing reality for Indigenous, Black and other racialized communities.  The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) is hopeful, however, that through this review and the recommendations that come out of it, the Regulation can be amended so that it can finally meet its promise.

  3. Députation de la commissaire en chef intérimaire Ruth Goba Commission des services policiers de Toronto – 18 juin 2015

    June 17, 2015

    Nous avons été encouragés cette semaine par l’annonce du solliciteur général de l’Ontario et ministre de la Sécurité communautaire et des Services correctionnels d’un plan de réglementation des contrôles de routine par la police en Ontario.

    Le ministre a énoncé clairement son objectif : « Prévenir les contrôles de police non justifiés sans raison valable ». COMMENT mettre en œuvre cette intention sera certainement le plus difficile, mais mettre fin aux « contrôles de police non justifiés » qui constituent du profilage racial est notre objectif.
