Public Education Request Form

The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) may be available to deliver presentations at public events or provide educational sessions within the Province of Ontario. To help ensure the availability of a speaker, please give a minimum of six weeks’ notice before the date of your event. The OHRC aims to respond to requests within two weeks of receipt.

Please note that the OHRC is not able to accept all invitations.

Speeches usually offer a high-level overview of the subject-matter, vary in length, and are not intended for in-depth training. A question-and-answer session may follow. The presentation - speech and question-and-answer time - should not exceed 60 minutes. Workshops should not exceed 90 minutes, with a minimum audience of 25 people.

To invite the OHRC to speak at your event, please complete the Public Education Request Form available on this webpage or print it (PDF Document, 30kb). You may submit the completed form by email to education@ohrc.on.ca, by fax to 416-314-4985, or by regular mail to:

Ontario Human Rights Commission

180 Dundas Street West,
9th Floor Toronto,
ON M7A 2G5

For further information please contact the OHRC at 416-326-9511 or TTY 416-326-0603.

Collect calls are accepted.

Please complete this form in as much detail as possible. If you have any questions, call 416-326-9511. Normally, someone will contact you within 2 weeks. We generally request 6 weeks' notice for presentations.

A request for public education will be evaluated according to the engagement's potential to:

Promote systemic prevention of Human Rights Code violations, and advance human rights.
Increase understanding and awareness of human rights issues arising in the OHRC’s priority areas of work.
Significantly enhance the OHRC’s relationship with strategic or underserved sectors.
"Train trainers" to have a sustainable "multiplier" effect in an organization.
Significantly reduce discrimination across a sector.

Note that the OHRC may publish the name of your organization in its Annual Report.
